Quidditch Champions Launches, Bringing Authentic Gameplay to the Wizarding World
After three decades in the Harry Potter universe, the highly anticipated game, Quidditch Champions, has officially launched, marking its place as only the second Quidditch-related video game ever created. This game is the first to truly embody the essence of the fictional sport, gaining comparisons to renowned sports titles like NBA 2K and EA Sports FC. The challenge of adapting Quidditch, with its unique and unconventional rules, was significant, but the developers have delivered a remarkable experience that resonates with fans.
Priced attractively at $30, Quidditch Champions is a modern online multiplayer live-service game offering a free battle pass. Players can unlock a variety of cosmetics, including brooms, wands, emotes, and a special Ron Weasley player skin. Progression in the game is straightforward: simply play and complete daily and weekly challenges to earn experience points.
The battle pass contains three currencies that can be utilized for further cosmetic unlocks and broom upgrades. Spanning 50 tiers, players can earn rewards such as 100 Winged Keys, 200 Moonstones, and 500 Gold throughout the pass. Winged Keys grant access to cosmetics from the Vault, while Gold and Moonstones can be used for purchases in separate shops and broom enhancements, respectively. Players can continue to earn Winged Keys beyond level 50, alongside accumulating Gold and Moonstones as they develop their career levels.
Notably, Quidditch Champions currently avoids the common pitfall of microtransactions; the only currency purchase option is an upgrade to the deluxe edition, which comes with 2000 Gold. All other items and rewards can only be obtained through gameplay.
