Some sort of Hogwarts Legacy Draco Malfoy collaboration is on the way, as the Harry Potter film actor Tom Felton has appeared in a brief teaser to do with an upcoming YouTube video for the RPG game. While the cryptic tease still doesn’t reveal what is planned for Hogwarts Legacy with Felton’s involvement, it’ll definitely send the rumour mill into overdrive.

Just like that, a new Harry Potter game is on its way. On Monday, WB Games revealed Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, a title the Hogwarts Legacy publisher is billing as a “fast-paced, competitive multiplayer” game that will be available on PC and consoles. According to the company, Unbroken Studios, best known for its work supporting the recently delayed Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, has been working on Quidditch Champions for the past “several years,” making the sport’s absence from Hogwarts Legacy make a lot more sense.

“Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a complete, standalone Quidditch experience,” a newly published FAQ says of the project, noting fans will need an online connection to play the game. “It engages players in the sport of Quidditch and other broomstick adventures alongside friends in a competitive, multiplayer setting.” The FAQ additionally states J.K Rowling was not involved in the creation of Quidditch Champions, and that the game is not a direct adaption of any of the existing Harry Potter books or films.
For the past few years, Rowling has been controversial for her transphobic views. Ahead of the release of Hogwarts Legacy, some fans chose not to buy or play the game for that reason. In addition to a new game, WB Games parent Warner Bros. Discovery is working on a new live-action adaption of all seven books in the Harry Potter series. Quidditch Champions does not have a release date. For now, WB Games is accepting signups for “limited” playtests.
