After downloadingHarry Potter: Wizards Unite, players can jump into the augmented reality version of the Wizarding World. LikePokemon GO,Harry Potter: Wizards Unitefeatures location-based gameplay, with players encouraged to explore the real world to advance their progress in the game. More features will be added later on, but there should be plenty for players to do at launch.
Something that may throw someHarry Potterfans off is the fact thatHarry Potter: Wizards Uniteactually takes place after the player has graduated Hogwarts. The player character is an adult, which means that the some of the usual stuff associated withHarry Potter, likeHouse competitions, aren’t a focus in the game.
Players will still be able to select what Hogwarts House they’re from, but that’s more for cosmetic purposes than anything else. The more important decision will be deciding what class to play, andHarry Potter: Wizards Unitehas three for fans to choose from - Auror, Professor, and Magizoologist.
Assuming the game is able to avoid the serious technical issues that plaguedPokemon GOat launch,Harry Potter: Wizards Unitecould very well be the next big thing in mobile gaming.
Harry Potter: Wizards Uniteis out now for iOS and Android mobile devices.
