Harry Potter Hogw.arts Mystery — first look at wizarding mobile game.
Jam City unveiled its first look at one of 2018’s most anticipated mobile games, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. The Harry Potter books have sold more than 450 million copies worldwide and the films have grossed more than $7.7 billion to date. If the mobile game can capture a tiny part of that audience, it will also be a success.
The Los Angeles mobile game maker cut a deal with author J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros. to make the game where players can create their own character and experience life as a Hogwarts student. It’s a role-playing game where you’ll experience life as a student, attend classes taught by famous professors from the Harry Potter novels, explore the ancient castle, and compete with students in spell duels.
Fans will get a sneak peek at the game at the upcoming Harry Potter celebration in Orlando, Florida, from January 26 to January 28 at Universal Studios.
The content of the game mirrors Harry Potter’s own experience in attending the wizarding school in the books, but you won’t play as Harry. It takes place before the era of the novels. And while it will feature familiar characters and professors, the game world will be filled with fan-created player characters.
