Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, the eagerly awaited addition to the Harry Potter video game franchise, has announced an exclusive pre-order bonus. Those who pre-order the game on Xbox, Steam, or the Epic Games Store will receive a unique Firebolt Supreme Broom Skin. PlayStation Plus subscribers will also have access to this exclusive content, though they will not need to pre-order the game to obtain it.
Set for release in September, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions represents the first major Harry Potter title since the success of Hogwarts Legacy in 2023. Unlike its predecessor, which was renowned for its expansive open-world role-playing experience, Quidditch Champions focuses on a sports-oriented gameplay model based on the popular Wizarding World sport of Quidditch.
The game promises an immersive Quidditch experience with both a single-player career mode and competitive online multiplayer options. Players will be able to create and fully customise their own characters, alongside interacting with well-known figures from the Harry Potter series. The roster of playable characters confirmed so far includes Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Cho Chang, and Draco Malfoy. Additional characters are expected to be announced before the game’s launch.
The recently released trailer for Quidditch Champions has not only introduced these characters but also highlighted the pre-order bonus. Early purchasers will be rewarded with the Firebolt Supreme Broom Skin, a premium cosmetic item that enhances the appearance of the in-game broomstick. Notably, while the game has been confirmed for the Nintendo Switch, this version currently lacks a specific release date, meaning Switch users will miss out on the pre-order bonus for the time being.
Priced at £29.99, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is positioned as an affordable option within the Wizarding World gaming series. For PlayStation users, the Firebolt Supreme Broom Skin will be accessible through PlayStation Plus, with the game offered as one of the free titles for September 2024. Subscribers will automatically receive the bonus when claiming the game between September 3 and September 30.
The announcement responds to the significant demand from Harry Potter fans who were disappointed by the absence of Quidditch in Hogwarts Legacy. Although it remains to be seen whether Quidditch Champions will fulfil fan expectations and provide an engaging experience, the pre-order bonus and inclusion of familiar characters have already generated considerable excitement.
As the release date nears, anticipation is building among fans eager to explore this new dimension of the Harry Potter universe. For those interested in securing the Firebolt Supreme Broom Skin and experiencing Quidditch in a new way, pre-ordering Quidditch Champions may offer a rewarding opportunity.
