According to FAQ, "Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions" is a fast-paced, competitive multiplayer game. It is being developed under the label "Portkey Games" by Unbroken Studios, who are currently also providing support for "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League".
You can tackle the Quidditch matches alone or play in teams with friends and strangers. Each team member takes on one of the familiar Quidditch positions - Keeper, Seeker, Hunter and Beater. It will also be possible to create your own character and customise it visually.
Phil, Luca and I have signed up for the playtest and can hardly wait to get on the Nimbus 2000 in the upcoming livestream. You can check out our impressions of "Hogwarts Legacy" in the following article: [[marketingpage:26417]]

My love of video games was unleashed at the tender age of five by the original Gameboy. Over the years, it's grown in leaps and bounds.
