In April 2020, Wizards Unite introduced the Knight Bus which allows players to participate in magical challenges in virtual fortresses regardless of their physical location, an answer to the worldwide lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the player moves within their real-world surroundings, their avatar moves within the game's map. The player can also stop at inns (to replenish spell energy), greenhouses (to gain potion ingredients and grow new ingredients), and fortresses (to fight dark wizards and beasts). The player then travels around the real world to find "confounded" items and creatures, and "unconfound" them. Īfter creating a game account, the player makes an avatar, whose location depends on the device's geographical location. Players may choose their wizarding house, their wand, and their profession: either Professor, Auror or Magizoologist. The game allows players to fight against mythical beasts from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts franchise. Harry Potter: Wizards Unite gameplay has been described as similar to that of Pokémon Go, with players able to view the gameplay world through a smartphone. On November 14, 2018, it was confirmed that the game would be released in 2019. With Niantic's purchase of Escher Reality, the game was expected to implement new technology to allow for persistent worlds within AR. Players are able to visit real-world locations while casting spells, discovering mysterious artefacts, and encountering iconic characters and legendary beasts from the Harry Potter universe. Harry Potter: Wizards Unite was announced on November 8, 2017, as an augmented reality mobile game developed by Niantic and WB Games San Francisco. Players must physically travel to explore the game's map and visit fortresses (the two large towers), inns (building in foreground) and greenhouses (two small blue glasshouses).
