Announced last month, developer Jam City has given us our first proper look at their upcoming
Harry Potter-inspired mobile game,
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery.
The trailer briefly highlights what you'll experience as a wizard student during your time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Additionally, Jam City has provided a few additional gameplay details, including where in the
Harry Potter timeline this game fits.
The game is set in the time between Harry Potter’s birth and his enrollment at Hogwarts, when Nymphadora Tonks and Bill Weasley were students. The avatar customization system allows you to continually upgrade your avatar as you gain new expertise and magical skills - you can even choose your own pet. You will join one of the four Houses before progressing through your years at Hogwarts, participating in magical classes and activities such as Potions and Transfiguration. Building your skills will come in handy as you solve mysteries and go on adventures. As players improve their skills, they will unlock new locations, spells and other magical abilities.
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is being developed by Jam City, and is part of the Portkey Games lable from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It is set to release this spring for mobile devices, and will be available on the App Store, Google Play, and the Amazon App Store.
Fans can actually experience a sneak peek of the new game at the upcoming
A Celebration of Harry Potter event at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. From January 26-28, attendees will be able to go behind-the-scenes via two panels hosted by Jam City, as well as visit the
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery booth to receive exclusive swag and play the game.
