Despite numerous ups and downs throughout the year, Pokémon GO has been a huge success for Niantic. A game that has managed to mobilize millions of players around the world. Over time the popularity of the game has decreased. So Niantic is forced to create new ideas. It seems they already have one that promises to create a lot of expectation. An augmented reality game like Pokémon GO based on Harry Potter.

Harry Potter game in augmented reality

So far few details are known about the game, although luckily we have known a few things about its operation. The game would be based on the mechanics of the Ingress game. This allows players to explore the real world by collecting power-ups. In addition to defending important locations and exploring new places. In this way, a database of Ingress sites of interest is created.

A database that has become very large thanks to Pokémon GO. It is speculated that the interface of the game would be similar to that of Ingress. Although in this case it would adapt to the world of magic of Harry Potter. But this has not yet been confirmed.

Undoubtedly, the arrival of this Harry Potter-based game has the potential to become a new mass phenomenon. We will have to wait a little longer to learn more about it and its possible launch. What do you guys think about this Niantic game?
