The announcement of Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions
While fans were disappointed that Hogwarts Legacy does not include Quidditch, there is exciting news for all Broomstick enthusiasts! Warner Bros has surprisingly announced a new multiplayer game called Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. The announcement was made in a tweet that also revealed "limited sign-ups for playtests." The game is being developed by Unbroken Studios and published by Portkey Games, a Warner Bros label specializing in Harry Potter games.
A standalone Quidditch experience
Although the project has been in development for several years, the announcement was a surprise to many. In Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, players can participate in action-packed Quidditch matches and embark on further magical adventures on broomsticks. Despite the name, Harry Potter is unlikely to appear in the game, similar to Hogwarts Legacy. Portkey Games wants to consciously distance itself from Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.
Playtests and Availability
Currently, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is accepting sign-ups for "limited" playtests. More information on the restrictions is not yet available, but you can find more details on the official Quidditch Champions Discord server. A price or release date has not been announced, but the game will be available for PC and unspecified consoles.
What to Expect in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions?
In Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, you take on the role of a Quidditch player and compete with your team against other teams. You can take on different positions such as Chaser, Beater, or Seeker and try to win the coveted Quidditch Cup.

New Adventures on Your Broomstick
In addition to the action-packed matches, Quidditch Champions offers more adventures on your broomstick. Fly through the air, discover new places, and team up with other players to tackle challenges together.
