Hogwarts Awaits
While we’re sure many fans have their favourites, it’s fair to say that Harry Potter is definitely on the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to movie-licensed games. Some of them are just flat out awful. Of course, the world of wizardry is never going to lose its popularity thanks to its devoted fan-base and the genuine wonder that J.K. Rowling managed to weave into every character.
So it was only a matter of time before developers managed cast their own jinx on The Boy Who Lived and draft him back into into the gaming industry, with the focus now being that of mobile devices. We already know that there’s already a Pokemon Go-style project in development, but now it seems Potterheads have another game to look forward to.
According to an article on Gamespot –
Warner Bros. recently created a new label specifically designed to publish Harry Potter games. Off the back of that announcement last month and the reveal of a new Pokemon Go-like game titled Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, the company has now unveiled another new game set in the Potter universe. Called Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, the new title is a narrative RPG set in the famous school for witchcraft and wizardry, and it’s coming to mobile in 2018.
Warner Bros. and developer Jam City say the new game will allow players to “create their own character and experience life as a Hogwarts student” by “progressing through their years” at the school. Along the way, you can participate in magical classes such as Defence Against the Dark Arts, Potions, and Duelling Club.
Warner Bros. hasn’t revealed anything more about Hogwarts Mystery as yet, except that it’s coming to iOS and Android. It will join Wizards Unite, which is also launching on mobile next year. That game will see you roaming the real world collecting power-ups, defending locations, and exploring your environment, much like Pokemon Go. Warner Bros. has also teased that a new Harry Potter game is in the works for consoles, but nothing else is known about that project for now.
Prepare yourselves people, a million Harry Potter OCs are about to come to life.
