One day after we got news of a huge Hogwarts Legacy update (and rumours of a Directors Cut of the game), today brought more news that should thrill fans of the Potterverse: Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions will be arriving on PC and consoles.
It won’t be a long wait for the game, either: it’s arriving on PC, the Switch, and PlayStation and Xbox platforms on September 3rd. In just under three months you’ll be able to hop on your broom and fly alongside Harry, Ron, and a host of other well-known characters from the series, in setting that range from a backyard pitch to the Quidditch World Cup. The game will also feature online multiplayer, which should be fairly well-populated given that the game will be on PlayStation Plus on its release day.
