'Harry Potter: Wizards Unite' Mobile Game is Now Available in the US and UK

Great news, Potterheads: The new AR mobile game is finally here.
While Warner Bros. announced their new mobile game, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, back in 2018, they did make the promise it would be out this summer, which is one they’ve made sure they could keep. As reported by The Verge, the game’s official Twitter page revealed the launch would begin this Friday, June 21, along with sharing a new trailer.

And now, one day earlier than intended, Wizards Unite is officially available in the US and the UK on iOS and Android.
As the announcement tweet clarifies “Keep your eyes peeled and wand ready for more information as the game goes live in your region soon,” however, it’s not confirmed when the game will be available everywhere. The Verge points out that Pokémon Go took an “unusually long time” to debut in certain countries, so this Wizards Unite announcement doesn’t tell us much yet regarding which locations will be next.
What we do know is that the game will include Pokémon Go-style missions, where the player can explore the real world for magical creatures and other elements from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, as detailed by The Week.
Keep your wand at the ready if Wizards Unite hasn’t reached your country yet--we’re sure it’ll be arriving very soon.
