According to a new report from TechCrunch, a new mobile game called Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, which is co-developed by Warner Bros. Interactive's sub-brand Portkey Games, will be launched in 2018.
On top of that, Niantic is expected to implement real-world locations into the in-game experience, as Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is likely to benefit from the same location database built up by Ingress and Pokemon GO.
Can a game similar to Pokemon GO supported by a beloved franchise like Harry Potter succeed? The mobile game market is very crowded but building AR games is not an easy feat, as they require quite a lot of resources and experience. Well, Niantic Labs has both, so we have high hopes for the studio's next title.
