Harry Potter Wizards Unite: New Augmented Reality Game From Niantic In 2019

Niantic, the developer behind Ingress and of course Pokémon GO has revealed that his next game will appear in 2019. It is Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, in which you have to take to the streets with your iPhone to play. This time not with Pokémon, but with magic and spells.

In the summer of 2016, Pokémon GO was a huge hype and you could see players running everywhere. With the new Harry Potter game, the developer wants to replicate that success. Initially the game in the summer of 2018 release, but there was a delay. Just wait before you grab the wand!

Story of Harry Potter Wizards Unite

Meanwhile, more is known about the story and there is a trailer. As a player, you are part of the Magic Code of the Secret Intervention Group. It must prevent the world of sorcery from being discovered. You make your way through AR through the magical universe of JK Rowling, create spells and meet fantastic animals. Of course all without arousing the suspicion of ignorant Muggles.

In anticipation of the release, it is now possible to register on the official site. Practice in advance, but do not feel like Pokémon GO anymore? There are many games with the same concept available. In recent months, for example, Jurassic World Alive and Ghostbusters World came out.

Arrives in 2019

Niantic did not want to say when Harry Potter Wizards Unite will appear in 2019. Given that there is already quite some delay, you can almost certainly count on the first half of the year.
