Niantic confirms: Harry Potter Wizards Unite in 2019

Together with Warner Bros. Interactive, Niantic is making the next Augmented Reality game after Pokémon Go to mobile devices. It’s been rather quiet, but we now have word that it’s going to be 2019 before we see the game appear.

They did release a new trailer. No doubt a bit exaggerated but still, it promises to be a good game for Harry Potter fans.

Based once again in augmented reality it will allow players to learn spells, explore their real world neighborhoods to team up with others and fight legendary beasts. And what’s this about the Wizarding World in Danger?

Niantic first game that changed AR gaming for good was Ingress, and this new one will fit in nicely to what Ingress laid down as a basis. Roaming the real world collecting power-ups, defending locations and exploring their environment. It seems almost ready-made for use of fantasy spell casting to replace Ingress’ science-fiction special forces veneer!
