Look for Foundables

You can play this augmented reality game by putting animation into real-life views through your camera. Instead of trapping cute animals in tiny balls, this time around you’re dealing with magic – and players must look for “fundable”.

These are artefacts, creatures, people and even memories from Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts books that you will find by new recruits from the Statute of Secret Task Force – and that’s you.

As you step outside and explore the world, the Map will reveal Traces of magic, highlighting the location of magical Foundables. While these Traces are all around you, certain Foundables may be more likely to appear at various types of real-world locations including parks, banks, municipal buildings, college campuses, libraries, monuments, zoos, art galleries, and more.”

Cast Spells

You will find variety of spells to overcome the Confoundable magic, keep the magical Foundables safe, and send them back to the wizarding world. By returning Foundables, you’ll earn unique rewards that you can track in the game Registry.

As you cast spells, you’ll consume Spell Energy. Be sure to regularly stop by Inns, found at Muggle locations around the world, to collect food and drinks that replenish your Spell Energy.” You’ll also have to visit inns to replenish your spell power, brew potions and visit well-known locations from the Harry Potter books and movies.

The ability to brew potions will be a component of gameplay in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, allowing you to find ingredients on the map that will vary by time of day, temperature, and weather conditions. You can also find potions ingredients in specially designated greenhouses found in the game.

Real-Time Multiplayer Battles

Players will have to work together and not against each other to tackle Fortresses

Fortresses are host to Wizarding Challenges, real-time multiplayer battles against dangerous foes, including Death Eaters and soul-sucking Dementors. You won’t want to face these threats alone–gather your friends to take on threats of even higher levels and recover rarer magical Foundables from within the Fortress walls.” These Wizarding Challenges at Fortresses seem similar to Raids in Pokémon GO, where players will need to team up to take down strong enemies and claim rewards if they win.

Players can choose from three jobs for their character which means players will have different skills and abilities from each other. You will have the option to specialize in three different magical professions — Auror, Magizoologists, or Professor — which will grant players access to unique skills and abilities to help you on your journey.

When it comes to battling enemies at a Fortress, it seems it would be wise to team up with other wizards and witches that have chosen a different profession than you, thus having a wider range of abilities to use in battle!

Portkeys for transportation

Portkeys; the seemingly mundane objects that can instantly transport you anywhere will be in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. Make sure to also keep an eye out for Portmanteaus, which you can unlock to reveal Portkeys that whisk you away to iconic wizarding world locations. For the first time, you’ll be able to step into a full 360-degree Advanced AR immersive experience in places like Ollivander’s Wand Shop.

There is also the opportunity to team up with fellow wizards (ie, your friends) to play multiplayer battles against villains such as Death Eaters and Dementors – which are like the gyms in Pokemon Go.

Now go ahead to Google and pre-register the game for your Android.
