The Wizarding World is forever expanding whether it be novels, stage plays, TV series’, video games and much more.
This year we saw the release of Hogwarts Legacy developed by Avalanche Studios. In Hogwarts Legacy, you play a mysterious student who begins their academic life at the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during the fifth year.

Hogwarts Legacy lets you live the best Harry Potter life whether it's partaking in main story missions, side-quests or just having fun exploring the school halls and its surrounding areas. Sadly, there’s one thing that you can’t do in Hogwarts Legacy and that’s play Quidditch. Though you can still fly on a broomstick, so yay?
It does feel a bit of an oversight not to include Quidditch in Hogwarts Legacy, whether that was deliberate or not. You could even speculate that the decision may have in some part been related to the announcement of Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions earlier in the year.

Back in May this year, the upcoming free-to-play Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions was being tested privately by Hogwarts Legacy fans which resulted in gameplay being leaked. Sadly, that leaked gameplay was soon pulled, understandably by the publisher Warner Bros. Games.
However, if you wanted to see more of Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, your luck may be about to change. As reported by Insider Gaming, you might be able to play the upcoming game sooner than expected in what is being described as its biggest playtest yet. It is claimed that the new playtest is already underway and it will end on 27 October 2023.
Players are able to register for the Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions playtest in the hope of participating, however, the playtest is currently restricted to PC Steam only. That being said, when these kinds of closed tests are taking place, a more public playtest is usually never far behind. So with a bit of luck, the publisher might make an announcement in the coming weeks to bring in more players.
As of right now, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions does not have a release date but it is expected to be released sometime in 2024.
