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.

Everything we know about Control 2

Jesse from Control stands in front of a red backdrop.

Alan Wake 2 was the game that fully connected the entire Remedy universe, but it all started with Control. Set in The Oldest House, home of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), Jesse Faden became the new director as she used her transforming gun and powers to defeat the Hiss. A DLC chapter connected her with Alan Wake, and now another piece of DLC for Alan Wake 2 has shifted the focus back on the FBC. Control 2 is the next chapter of this dark and paranormal story unlike anything else on our list of upcoming video games. It will still be a while before we return to the world of altered items of objects of power, so thankfully we have games like Civilization VII and Assassin's Creed Shadows to hold us over, but there's nothing that can scratch that specific itch Control did. This is our declassified document on everything we know about Control 2.

If you're still on the lookout for the best upcoming PS5 games, we've got you covered there too.

Death Stranding 2: everything we know so far

Sam Bridges walks on a ridge in front of the moon.

There were plenty of hints along the way, and even some leaks by the leading man himself, but it was only made official at the Game Awards 2022 that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is on its way. Coming from the same influential and creative mind as the original, as well as the Metal Gear franchise before it, Hideo Kojima introduced the game himself. Of course, nothing about Kojima's games are straight forward, and what was revealed about Death Stranding 2 probably raised more questions than it answered. We're strapping on our boots, connecting to our BBs, and are ready to make the trek to find out everything there is about Death Stranding 2.
Release date window

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach only has the wide release window of 2025. During TGS 2024, Kojima did give a small update on the game's progress. He stated that the game is around 30 - 40% done but holds firm that it will hit the 2025 release window.

Marathon: everything we know so far

A planet floats in the sky in Marathon.

After saying goodbye to the incredible Halo franchise, developer Bungie moved on to break new ground in the live-service space with two Destiny titles (and there's a mobile installment in Destiny: Rising on the way). It has been supporting these two games for nearly a decade now, but we have finally seen what else has been in the works.

To the surprise of many, it is actually a return to the studio's earliest franchise, Marathon. Those original titles were made in the same style as the original Doom games, but this new reboot of sorts is going in a very different direction. And don't forget, Bungie has proven that they're the masters of sci-fi shooters, so let's go the distance and cover everything we know about Marathon.
