Release of Harry Potter: Wizards Unite
While Harry Potter: Wizards Unite had been announced since 2016, there hasn't been an official release date for a long time.
- In January 2018, John Hanke, CEO of Niantic, announced that Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is scheduled to be released in the second half of 2018. But the date was postponed and for a long time no specific date was known.
- The game first appeared on June 21, 2019 in the United States and the United Kingdom, but shortly afterwards also in Germany.
- Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is now available free of charge for Android and iOS.
All information about the game
Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is developed by Niantic, the developers of Pokémon GO and Ingress, in collaboration with Warner Bros. Games San Francisco. Augmented reality technology is also used, which allows reality and play to merge.
- AR technology immerses mobile game players in the magical world of Harry Potter and searches real neighborhoods and cities for mysterious artifacts.
- But what do the magic objects do in the Muggle world thanks to AR? This is part of the story of Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, which lets fans get to know lots of characters from the Harry Potter films but also from the fantastic animal series.
- As a player, you are part of a special unit that is supposed to investigate magical events.
- So far, PvP has not played a role. There are no competing teams either, but all wizards work together to find the artifacts and magical beings.
- With the help of magic, the aim is to banish magic from the world of the Muggle. The incidents, beings & Co. appear similar to the Pokémon in Pokémon GO and are noted in the scrapbook à la Pokédex.
- There are several professions that affect how players can distribute skill points to learn certain spells and become stronger.
- Together with other players or alone, you can search through dungeons, greenhouses and inns. Skills have the most impact in these battles: The best thing to do is bring damage-repairers, healers, etc. with you. The sensible distribution of roles is similar to that in classic role-playing games.
- In the dungeons you will find items that you need to craft useful items. For example, you can make potions and fortify yourself before the next raid or heal in battle.
