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 - Official Trailer - "Welcome Students!"

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.

The Deluxe Edition includes:

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.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3: everything we know so far

Cloud,. Aerith, and Tifa stand together in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

After the dramatic climax in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, fans of the Final Fantasy series have been theory-crafting and speculating on how the eventual third game would conclude this epic story. Square Enix hasn't given us a date or title for Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 yet to give it a proper entry on our list of all upcoming video games, but that hasn't stopped it from already becoming one of our most anticipated upcoming PlayStation 5 games along with Monster Hunter: Wilds and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. More and more information is starting to appear about what the last leg in Cloud's adventure will look like, so let's equip our best materia and scan the internet for everything there is to know about Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3.

Odds are this game won't be on Xbox (at least at launch), but there are still plenty of great upcoming Xbox Series X games to look forward to.

Avatar: The Last Airbender RPG: everything we know so far

There have been several games based on the hit Nickelodeon show Avatar: The Last Airbender, but never one that managed to live up to the source material's legacy. After The Legend of Korra in 2014, we haven't had any new games that let us experience the world of elemental bending. That's all about to change now that Paramount Games and Saber Interactive have announced that a new Avatar AAA RPG is in the works. We've mastered all four elements to bring you as much information about this new chapter in the Avatar saga as possible.
Release date speculation
This new Avatar: The Last Airbender game is so early in development that we don't even know what its official title is yet. All we know is that the game is in its very early stages and is poised to be "the biggest video game in franchise history." If this will indeed be a AAA game, we could be waiting four or more years for this game to come to fruition. We'll keep you updated on the timeline as we get more information.
Platforms
Avatar: The Last Airbender Nickelodeon

No platforms were confirmed for this new Avatar game. Saber Interactive typically releases all its games on every platform, so we would assume it will come to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PC, and perhaps even whatever the Switch 2 ends up being.
Trailers
We have no footage, screenshots, or even concept art for the Avatar game. However, we do know what direction the team is going with the world and story.
