Everything related to Hogwarts is super popular again! The release of Hogwarts Legacy in 2023 was a real treat for all fans of the Harry Potter universe. Though it was not about the Boy Who Lived, I liked the title very much as it brought some magic to our broken world. Yet, some players were a little upset that the title did not include the beloved Quidditch game. However, very soon, all fans of this universe will rejoice, as a separate full-fledged title about Quidditch will be released, the Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions game. Well, let’s take a closer look at it before the release.
About Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions Game
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a sports simulator that will be dedicated to the fantasy sports game from the Harry Potter universe. Great news for all fans of co-op games is that there will be a multiplayer mode in Quidditch Champions. The game is being developed by Unbroken Studios, a young team from Los Angeles, which has only one project under its belt so far. However, there is no need to worry about the quality of the game – the publisher is Warner Bros. Games under the Portkey Games brand. In addition, they have run multiple Quidditch Champions playtests, allowing gamers to experience the game first-hand. So, now everything is ready for the official release.
The game will have a stylized cartoon look, which will be different from Hogwarts Legacy. J.K. Rowling is not involved in the development of the game, and it is not a direct adaptation of the books or movies. It’s just Quidditch, which can be played solo or with friends. The developers are trying to maintain the authenticity of the original Harry Potter universe but also plan to add their own original ideas.
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions Release Date
According to the information on the official website of the game, the Quidditch Champions release date is set for September 3, 2024, for the digital form. For those who prefer physical copies, you will have to wait until November 8, 2024. As for the Quidditch Champions price, it depends on the edition. The Digital Standard Edition is $29.99, while Digital and Physical Deluxe Editions are $39.99.
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions Platforms
We’ll be able to play Quidditch Champions on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S and previous-generation consoles — PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In addition, the game will be on PC, and a little later this year, the game will be released on Nintendo Switch.
Will The Game Be Cross-platform?
Yes, I have good news for fans – the Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions game will support cross-platform play between all platforms. So players on PS, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Switch will be able to play together in multiplayer mode.
Cross-progression Availability
Quidditch Champions will also support cross-progression, so progress can be freely transferred between platforms. You’ll be able to continue the game on any platform.
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions Gameplay Explained
Not much is known about the Quidditch Champions gameplay and mechanics so far. However, thanks to information from the famous streamer novemberkilogaming, beta playtest and the Gamerant media, we know that all Quidditch game positions will be available in the game – Beater, Chaser, Seeker, and Keeper.
Each position will have a unique play style that can be customized, and players will be able to choose Harry Potter or Ron Weasley, among other characters. The game will have a story campaign and a career mode in which players will go from beginner to master. This will be similar to how the career mode is structured in FIFA.
Players will be able to participate in various championships, such as the Burrow Cup, the Hogwarts Cup, and the Quidditch World Cup. The career mode will immerse you in the world of Quidditch and make you feel like a part of the wizarding world. Players will learn basic mechanics, represent their faculty, and compete for national teams at the World Cup. Among other things, the game will also feature extensive customization and leveling up of your character.
Is Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions Multiplayer?
Yes, the developers have announced several different game modes in HP: Quidditch Champions, including multiplayer, which will include online co-op and PvP.
Online Co-op Mode
The career mode can be played alone or in co-op with two friends. Players can create custom matches based on unlocked content from the career mode.
PvP Matches
At the moment, there are no leaks about PvP in Quidditch Champions except that in multiplayer mode, players will be able to choose combinations of two roles and switch between them depending on the situation on the field.
Pre-order And Bonuses To Expect
Anyone who pre-orders Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions will receive the Firebolt Supreme Broom skin. Hogwarts Legacy players will also receive a special bonus in Quidditch Champions that can be claimed by logging into their WB Games account. It includes a whole pack of the following items:

What, is it too early to talk about it? Well, I can dream, right? But seriously, everything will depend on how popular this game turns out to be.
