Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions gameplay and story details
Ahead of launch, the official Harry Potter YouTube channel has unveiled a wealth of information on what Quidditch Champions has in store.
Players can fill the role of a chaser, beater, seeker and keeper on the Quidditch pitch.
Each goal scored is worth 10 points, while capturing the Golden Snitch scores 30, slightly different to the movies.
Players begin their Quidditch journey at the Weasley Burrow to learn the mechanics of the game before working their way to the international stage at the Quidditch World Cup.
"Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a fast-paced, online multiplayer game featuring the world's most iconic magical sport," Warner Bros has said.
The game "engages players in the sport of Quidditch and other broomstick adventures alongside friends in a competitive setting".
Alongside gameplay, players can upgrade their skills and brooms to optimise their style of play. There's even a character customisation option.
After capturing the World Cup, players can take part in PvP matches to test their mettle against each other.
The gameplay trailer also mentions post-launch seasons, suggesting new cosmetics, pitches and more are on the way.
