Niantic and Warner Bros Video Game Studios have announced that the highly anticipated augmented reality video game Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is now available on iOS and Android within the United States.
The Harry Potter gameplay is created by Niantic, the same creator of Pokemon Go, which is one of the most crucial game phenomena that redefined the importance of mobile devices and location marketing. Now this formula will be repeated with the story of Harry Potter, in a collaboration between Portkey Games.
Harry Potter: Wizards Unite will work on all Android and Apple devices in the US and UK only but will soon be available worldwide.The objective is that the servers come into operation gradually and do not generate any kind of problems such as what happened with Pokémon GO at the beginning, which stopped working due to a large number of people connected.
The game Harry Potter: Wizards Unite promotes activity and building a community among its users. In short, Pokemon Go had managed to get thousands of people of all ages to throw themselves into the street to play and hunt Pokemons. Now, they want to do the same, and Harry Potter has a legion of fans behind that will love the application's excellent use of the cinematographic universe created by JK Rowling, so it is expected to be another hit.
In this game, the Harry Potter universe will come to life and one will have to choose between three professions: Professor, Magizoologists and Auror. At least at the beginning, then you can change if you wish. Each of these professions will allow you to establish which team you belong to, something similar to what was already seen in the Pokemon game.
To practice any of the three professions, you have to be an expert in magic and sorcery. One will have to know and learn the different enchantments, and launch them in the crucial moments. Alohomora, Expecto Patronum or Flipendo, will be some of the spells we will use. To launch them successfully, users will have to draw with their finger on the screen of their mobiles the symbol corresponding to the enchantment.
Another important element during the game will be the potions you can create. The portals that will take you to places where you can find new magical items and of course, you'll also have to watch your energy well if you do not want to die.
In Harry Potter: Wizards Unite users will also be able to hunt all kinds of magical creatures. Dangerous and exotic creatures that appear in the Harry Potter universe will cross your path to prevent or help you move forward. To defeat them, one will have to use abilities, potions, and spells acquired.
There will also be battles against other magicians, real-time battles against other players that will take place in the multiple communities shown on the map.
In terms of gameplay and options, the title goes beyond what was seen in Pokemon Go. The chosen profession will have an impact on the character's strengths, also on his weaknesses. If you are going to play with friends, the ideal is that you choose according to the best combination to be able to support you when necessary.
