Quidditch Champions has been developed by Unbroken Studios – who previously worked alongside other studios on such franchises as Call of Duty, God of War and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League – and it will be a competitive multiplayer game based on Quidditch.
Fans will remember that this isn't the first time a Quidditch-themed game has been made, with EA's 2003 effort Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup being the most famous example of a previous attempt. Read on to learn more about the new Quidditch game!

"Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a fast-paced, online multiplayer game featuring the world's most iconic magical sport," Warner Bros has said.
The game apparently "engages players in the sport of Quidditch and other broomstick adventures alongside friends in a competitive setting".
