Harry Potter: Wizards Unite

Co-developed by WB Games San Francisco and Niantic, Inc. under the Portkey Games label, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is an augmented reality (AR) real-world mobile game inspired by the Wizarding World that puts magic in the hands of players worldwide. In Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, chaotic magical activity is causing artefacts, fantastic beasts, iconic characters and even memories to appear in the Muggle world. Players will take on the role of a new recruit of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force and work to solve the mystery of this Calamity. While players explore their real-world neighborhoods – whether it’s parks, libraries, landmarks, shops and more – they will find a variety of wizarding locations on their Map, including Inns, Greenhouses and Fortresses. They’ll also come across magical Traces, where they must cast spells in order to return objects to their rightful place in the wizarding world. Niantic and WB Games must be considered together as co-nominees for Harry Potter: Wizards Unite.
