Described as having a “captivating gameplay experience with compelling features, an in-depth collectible card system and [a] beautifully distinct art style,” it sounds as though the magic of Harry Potter has struck the gaming world once again.
In Harry Potter: Magic Awakened, players will begin as young witches and wizards who have just received their acceptance letters to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Fans can customize their own character and go on to experience all the hallmarks of a magical education, including purchasing school supplies at Diagon Alley, wearing the Sorting Hat to be [S]orted into a House and competing in the Duelling Club.
Witches and wizards will also embark on a riveting new story, featuring familiar faces from the original Harry Potter series and new characters alike. As players progress, they will learn spells and charms that can be cast through the form of cards. Players need to accumulate magical knowledge to master these spells, devise unique strategies and form winning combinations – learning what to cast and when – as they venture through increasingly challenging trials, duel other players and master the magic in their own illustrious wizarding journey.
If you live in the Americas, Europe, or Oceania, you can preregister for Harry Potter: Magic Awakened today on Google Play or through the game’s official website, and you’ll receive “exclusive rewards” once the game is released. You’ll also be able to unlock additional rewards, including “in-game currency, cosmetic items and a Niffler card, after surpassing each pre-registration tier.”
