Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions recreates a game you love
The school year is almost starting and the young wizards and witches of the wizarding world will soon receive their acceptance letters respective school. How many of you have dreamed of this while reading the Harry Potter books or watching the Harry Potter movies? Thanks to Hogwarts Legacy, we had the opportunity to take our first steps at Hogwarts. But the experience was not complete.
The fans who were wronged will soon be able to get on the broom. 3 September 2024you can participate in a tournament QuidditchIn this special sport from the world of wizards, two teams of seven players each compete against each other in the air on a field bordered by rings that serve as goals.
For an even richer experience, the Quidditch Champions game features several fields. Each one is decorated according to the school it belongs to. And there are three schools present at this first test of the license. You guessed it, these are the ones that have been competing in the famous event for years Triwizard Tournament :
- The Magic Academy Beauxbatons
- The College Hogwartsthe school of witchcraft
- The Institute Durmstrang
Fans of the saga know these three schools well. This tournament is the focus of the fourth part of the adventures of the young wizard with the lightning-shaped scar. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. If we refer to the 81% and 88% that the critics received respectively Metacritic and RedTomatoesmaking the film one of the highest rated in the franchise.
The Quidditch simulation we’ve been waiting for?
The game Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is therefore based on the many sports simulation games by offering multiple playing fields. However, we still have a limited number of locations. Unbroken Studios tends to confirm the impression already given by the cartoonish and fluid graphics: we are dealing with a “small” game that wants to entertain with its means, without overdoing it.
So some fans will be happy about itDisplay the colors of the school of your choice. It is also pleasing that the games will also take place on playing fields with decorations reminiscent of the respective school. We will therefore move from the French gardens of Beauxbâtons to the British hills of Hogwarts. After all, it is obviously a darker landscape that awaits us in Durmstrang, the school of black magic in northern Europe.
But another part of the fans might be frustrated by the starving content. The Harry Potter story is full of different clubs and even leagues, so we could have wished for a little more ambition for this Quidditch champion. It would have been even more satisfying to be able to play that Canon of Chudley for example, Ron Weasley’s favorite team, the Puddlemare Club, which Olivier Dubois joined after studying at Hogwarts, or even the Bulgarian national team in which he plays Victor Krumthe representative of Durmstrang in The Goblet of Fire.
However, the success of Quidditch Champions could encourage the development of further content for the game. We can certainly imagine it gaining momentum through new updates or DLCs. Even more, the news Harry Potter series The film, produced by HBO, is expected to revive interest in the franchise, so if fans show the desire, the Quidditch video game could actually emerge as a beacon of hope.
