Following the success of ''{{wp|Ingress (video game)|Ingress}}'' and ''{{bp|Pokémon GO}}'', {{bp|Niantic}} has announced a new augmented reality game titled ''Harry Potter: Wizards Unite'' featuring the ''{{wp|Harry Potter}}'' franchise. It is scheduled to be released in 2018. | |||
As with their previous AR titles, the game will encourage exploration, exercise, and real-world social interaction. In particular, it will include learning real spells, hunting legendary beasts, and toppling powerful enemies. | |||
The game will be developed in cooperation with the San Francisco branch of {{wp|Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment}}. Niantic hopes to use the venture to pioneer new technology within the game, as well as to help players capture the feel of J.K. Rowling's wizarding world in new ways. |
