Warner Bros. Games San Francisco and Niantic Studios have released the first information about Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, the mobile AR game from the creators of Pokémon GO.
In Harry Potter: Wizards Unite you have to go into the world of magic and explore it with your friends. You'll meet characters and visit places familiar from the main Harry Potter series and the Fantastic Beasts film series.
The plot is as follows: a certain disaster occurred, because of which magical artifacts, creatures, and even memories began to appear in the Muggle world. Magicians from all over the world must unite, uncover the secret and defeat opponents. Similar to Pokémon GO, you will see traces of magic on the map. They can appear anywhere, but some things will only appear in certain places, such as parks, libraries, zoos, banks, government buildings, universities, monuments, art galleries. It will be possible to overcome magic with the help of suitable spells. For this you will receive rewards.
Magical energy is needed to cast spells. You can replenish it with food and drinks in the tavern, which are located in the Muggle world. In the same place (as well as in greenhouses and on the map) you will find ingredients for making potions and potions. An interesting use of augmented reality are bags with portals. Opening them, you will be transported to the famous places of the Harry Potter universe. For example, Ollivander's shop.
There will also be multiplayer battles. The map shows the fortresses in which the tests are being carried out. You have to shoulder to shoulder with other players to defeat the Death Eaters and Dementors in real time. In addition, users will be able to choose their specialty: Aurors, Magozologists and Professors. Each of them has its own skills and abilities.
Harry Potter: Wizards Unite will be released on iOS and Android in 2019.
