Harry Potter fans have of course already been spoiled this year with Hogwarts Legacy, but there will soon be some extra to that. And no, that’s not Warner Bros. announcing a new series about the wizard. Thank God…
We can already say that Hogwarts Legacy is among the three best games of the year. In fact, if my colleague Mark is to be believed, there really isn’t anything better coming. Harry Potter fans, like him, however, now have something extra to look forward to.
This is Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions
Indeed, a new Harry Potter game is coming. One that highlights something that we did miss a bit in Hogwarts Legacy. We are, of course, talking about Quidditch.
WB Games is coming out with Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. The publisher calls it a fast-paced competitive multiplayer that will be available for PC and consoles.
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is not being made by Hogwarts Legacy studio Portkey Games. Instead, Unbroken Studios is working on it. A relatively unknown creator best known as a studio contributing to the development of Suicide Squid: Kill the Justice League.
The project has been several years in the making and probably explains why we won’t see Quidditch in Hogwarts Legacy. WB Games would rather make it a full game than a part of a game. Plus, of course, it brings in extra money.

Here’s how to play the Hogwarts Legacy successor first
Still, you will have to take a few things into account. Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, unlike Hogwarts Legacy, is primarily focused on multiplayer. As such, you will need a continuous connection to the Internet.
In addition, the creator also wants to emphasize that J.K. Rowling is not involved with the making of the game and that it is not a direct adaptation of any of the Harry Potter books. Of course, the studio does this mainly because of the author’s controversial statements.
When the game will be released is still unknown. However, interested Harry Potter fans can sign up for limited playtests. This will give you an idea of what the game will bring. Until then, have fun with Hogwarts Legacy. Fortunately, we have listed the ideal tips for the game for you.
