Enjoyed your time with Hogwarts Legacy and looking for more within the world? Warner Bros. Games has announced Quidditch Champions, a fast-paced, competitive multiplayer game featuring the sport of Quidditch. The game has been in development for several years by Unbroken Studios, which has experience with multiplayer games. According to Unbroken Studios’ website, it self-published Fantastic Plastic Squad in 2015, a free-to-play multiplayer shooter, and Fractured Lands in 2018, a 100-person battle royale. In addition to developing Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, it has been contributing to the development of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, a game that recently has been delayed to 2024.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions will be a complete, standalone experience that engages players in the sport of Quidditch and other broomstick adventures alongside friends in a competitive, multiplayer setting. No release date for the game has been set, but there will be playtests in the near future. At the time of publishing, the game is confirmed for PC and consoles, but it hasn’t been confirmed which ones yet. Warner Bros. Games also confirmed players will be able to create and customize their own characters, and that the game will require an internet connection to play. In addition, players will be able to play solo or team up with friends or others online.

Make sure to sign up for upcoming playtests if you are interested in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions.

How does Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions fit into the Wizarding World?

While Portkey Games are not direct adaptations of the books and films, the games are firmly rooted in the magical universe of the Wizarding World. While remaining true to J.K. Rowling’s original vision, Portkey game developers chart new territory by creating fresh ways for fans to immerse themselves in the Wizarding World.

What is Portkey Games?

Portkey Games, from Warner Bros. Games, is the games label dedicated to creating new Wizarding World mobile and videogame experiences that place the player at the center of their own adventure, inspired by J.K. Rowling’s original stories. Portkey Games offers players the opportunity to make their own narrative choices and engage with the Wizarding World setting to discover new and unique experiences. The label was created to bring gamers and fans new gaming experiences that allow them to delve into the Wizarding World in immersive ways where they can create their own magical stories.

What does Portkey mean, and why have you chosen it for this label?

In the Harry Potter series, a Portkey is an object, enchanted to instantly transport anyone touching it to a specific location. Most of the time, a Portkey is an everyday object that would not draw the attention of a Muggle. For Portkey Games, it symbolizes how games under this label will transport fans to their own adventures inspired by the Wizarding World.

What type of games will be developed under Portkey Games?

Portkey Games will enable developers to create a variety of new and immersive gaming experiences that are all inspired by J.K. Rowling’s original stories. These experiences have not been written by J.K. Rowling and will not be direct adaptations of the books and films. These are games that have been created for the fans, by game-makers who themselves are fans of and have been inspired by the Wizarding World.

Are Portkey Games created with J.K. Rowling’s approval?

Each experience offered under Portkey Games will take place in the wizarding world and will be authentic to it. J.K. Rowling is hugely supportive of Portkey Games and has entrusted the design and creation of the games to WB Games and the developers involved.
