Following countless rumors in the wake of the success of Pokemon GO (Free), it was just over a year ago that Niantic officially announced Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, a Harry Potter-ified take on the augmented reality map-based gameplay of their smash hit mobile game. Things went awfully quiet after that until just last month when the first trailer and details emerged for Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. Well, the slow drip of hype-building is in full force as today a new teaser video was released for Harry Potter: Wizards Unite showcasing a… strange occurrence captured on a local Australian traffic camera. Check it out.
So there you have it, out of control Nimbus 2000s running amok in Sydney, Australia. As we learned last month, the premise of Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is that an event called the Calamity is coming and causing all sorts of magical mischief across the world. As part of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force, it’ll be up to you to–wait for it–UNITE with your fellow wizards to deal with these magical calamities, probably in a very similar way to how you’d catch a Pokemon in Pokemon GO. A fleet of Nimbus 2000s flying down the highway certainly seems like a calamity to me. I’m guessing we’ll be getting many more tidbits like the above in the months to come as Harry Potter: Wizards Unite gears up for its launch at some point in the future, and in the meantime you can still “enlist" aka pre-register over at the official website.
