Warner Bros. Games recently announced an exciting addition to their upcoming game, Quidditch Champions – the Triwizard Quidditch Cup. This new feature is set to include special pitches themed around the prestigious wizarding schools of Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang. In the game’s career mode, players will have the opportunity to progress all the way to the Triwizard Quidditch Cup, where they can choose to represent one of the three schools and compete against iconic characters from each institution.
In this version of the Triwizard Quidditch Cup, players can expect to see familiar faces from the Harry Potter universe, such as Cedric Diggory, Ron Weasley, Harry Potter, Fleur Delacour, and Viktor Krum. Each school will have its own unique team, with creative liberties taken by developers at Unbroken Studios. For example, Beauxbatons will feature “finely crafted” brooms and a “perfectly manicured” pitch to match the school’s elegant reputation. On the other hand, the Durmstrang squad will compete on “sturdy brooms in harsh conditions,” reflecting the school’s more rugged and intense atmosphere.
The Beauxbatons pitch will be set in the scenic Pyrenees mountains in the south of France, while the Durmstrang pitch will be located in the far northern reaches of Europe. Developers have paid close attention to detail, with the Durmstrang pitch set at night under the aurora borealis, surrounded by Viking-inspired architecture and minimal flames to maintain the school’s secrecy. The Hogwarts pitch, on the other hand, will be a familiar sight for fans of the film series, requiring no introduction.
