Official Harry Potter Card Game, Harry Potter: Magic Awakened, to Launch Internationally This Year

Previously only available on the Chinese mainland, Warner Bros. Games’ Portkey Games division and NetEase has confirmed that their free-to-play card game Harry Potter: Magic Awakened, will arrive in North America, Europe and Oceania this year. This is not a physical card game, but a new smartphone game for iOS and Android platforms, following a new group of protagonists, years after the events of J.K. Rowling’s original books.

Harry Potter: Magic Awakened is pitched as “a multiplayer wizarding dueling game that offers an immersive role-playing journey with deep strategy play that fulfills the fan fantasy – all beautifully rendered in a unique art style”.

In Harry Potter: Magic Awakened, players will begin as young witches and wizards who have just received their acceptance letters to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Fans can customize their own character and go on to experience all the hallmarks of a magical education including purchasing school supplies at Diagon Alley, wearing the Sorting Hat to be sorted into a House and competing in the Duelling Club.

Witches and wizards will also embark on a new chapter in the Harry Potter franchise, featuring familiar faces from the original Harry Potter series and new characters alike. As players progress, they will learn spells and charms that can be cast through the form of cards. Players need to accumulate magical knowledge to master these spells, devise unique strategies and form winning combinations – learning what to cast and when – as they venture through increasingly challenging trials, duel other players and master the magic in their own illustrious wizarding journey.

Those interested in the game can pre-register via the official Harry Potter: Magic Awakened website, with rewards available at select milestones.

With Harry Potter: Magic Awakened, we have worked jointly with NetEase Games to create the most robust multiplayer experience set in the wizarding world and we are very excited to launch the game globally.

arry Potter: Magic Awakened utilizes the best-in-class development and publishing capabilities of both NetEase Games and Warner Bros. Games to bring players a captivating gameplay experience with compelling features, an in-depth collectible card system and beautifully distinct art style.
