First gameplay of Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions shows multiplayer and character creator

One of the most notable missing elements from the Harry Potter prequel game Hogwarts Legacy was the high-flying sport of quidditch. Publisher Warner Bros. Games will address that exclusion later this year with Harry Potter: Quidditch Championsa new single-player and online competitive multiplayer game based on the wizarding sport.

Developer Unbroken Games revealed the first gameplay of its Harry Potter Quidditch video game this week, featuring some familiar faces including Ron Weasley and Draco Malfoy. There’s also a glimpse at several arenas, including the Quidditch World Cup Stadium.

Quidditch enthusiasts can also create the young wizard of their choice. Unbroken Games showcases the Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions character creator in the video above, highlighting choices in homes, clothing, broomsticks and more. Publisher WB Games says there are “no plans for microtransactions in the game at this time,” which hopefully means what you see is what you get, forever.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions will release digitally for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), Xbox One, and Xbox Series X on September 3. A physical deluxe edition will be available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X on November 8. A Nintendo Switch version is also coming, scheduled for release sometime this holiday, according to WB Games.

PlayStation Plus subscribers get Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions (and a Firebolt Supreme Broom Skin) as part of the September 2024 downloadable games. The game will be available to keep from September 3-30, if you have an active PS Plus membership of any tier.
