For as fun as Hogwarts Legacy was, there was one major feature of the wizarding world that was noticeably absent from the game. Despite featuring the ability to fly on broomsticks, and even soar through a Quidditch arena, you couldn’t actually play this magical game. That’s where Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, a new game, comes in. Very little has been shared about the game since its announcement; however, there are a few details worth going over before mounting up and trying to catch that elusive Golden Snitch. Here’s everything we know about Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions.

Trailers

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions - Official Reveal Trailer

The official reveal trailer only shows CGI footage of new and returning characters from the Harry Potter franchise engaging in the fictional sport. We do see a variety of fields that suggest multiple locations to play, but not much else can be gleaned from this footage.

You will be able to play as characters pulled straight from the books, including Harry, Malfoy, Ron, and more, alongside a robust character creator.

Gameplay

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions will be primarily a competitive multiplayer experience that follows the rules of the game as they were written in the books, although there is also a single-player Career Mode. This mode will let you play matches across a variety of arenas to try to win the cup.

Gameplay will have you flying in a third-person view while attempting to score points by throwing the ball through one of three rings. Seekers, on the other hand, will need to chase down the Snitch as it leaves golden rings across the field.

BioWare has had a rough few years. Following the critical and commercial success of Dragon Age: Inquisition, the studio moved on to Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, two games that abandoned the tenets of previous BioWare titles under mounting publisher pressure.

It's been over six years since Inquisition, and although we know Dragon Age: The Veilguard (formerly Dreadwolf) is in development, it'll be a while before we see it. From the release date to the teaser trailer to any news and rumors we could find, here's everything we know about Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

It's time to brush up on your Simlish if it's rusty because the long-awaited The Sims 5, aka Project Rene, is officially on the way. This has been the longest gap between main entries since the series began, and while we did get tons of expansions for The Sims 4 to hold us over, plus the change to it becoming free to play, we're more than ready for a new entry. Each time a new game in the franchise comes out, die-hard fans always need to have a bit of skepticism about what features will be there -- both new and returning.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond: release date window, trailers, gameplay, and more

One of Nintendo's lesser-known yet still beloved franchises is Metroid -- a series that originally began on the NES, putting us in the shoes of bounty hunter Samus Aran. Now, over 35 years later, fans are eagerly awaiting the next entry in the series, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which has been in the works for several years.

The Prime series takes the formula introduced in the 2D games and turns it into a 3D, first-person adventure that still very much feels like Metroid, despite the perspective shift. Hype for the next installment in the series has found new life now that the original Metroid Prime is available to play on the Nintendo Switch. While there isn't much we know about Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, there are some small tidbits of information around the internet here and there. It's possible that Metroid Prime 4 could be one of the headline titles for the Nintendo Switch 2. We've scoured as much as we could find to bring you everything we know about Metroid Prime 4.
