Harry Potter: Wizards Unite’s Microtransaction Pricing Revealed

Pokemon Go developer Niantic’s AR game Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is out now in Australia and New Zealand, at least in beta form. Major mobile titles often release in the ANZ region before coming to the United States, Europe, and other parts of the world, so this

Wizards Unite is available for free on iiOS and Android. Because it is a beta, the game lacks some features, while the overall appearance and design is subject to change. Additionally, some languages that will be supported in the final release are unavailable now.

Players who get into the beta should also expect to run into some technical hiccups due to its unfinished state. Niantic said it hopes players communicate their feedback so the studio can make the game better for everyone when it’s available worldwide.

Wizards Unite’s beta already released in New Zealand in March. You may be able to change your country in the App Store and Google Play, but this doesn’t always work.

Like Pokemon Go and other free-to-play titles, Wizards Unite is supported by microtransactions. Players can purchase “Gold” from Gringott’s Bank in the game at multiple levels. The bundles range from 80 Gold ($1.50 AUD) to 10,000 Gold ($160 AUD). In addition, you can buy Anti-Calamity ($8 AUD) and Advanced Anti-Calamity Kits ($31 AUD). These kits come with allotments of Gold, potions, spell energy, and keys. Outside of the bundles, you can spend Gold on a huge variety of things, including Dark Detectors (reveals special items), Runestones (for Wizarding Challenges), Healing potions (restores stamina), and so much more.

No Caption Provided

Given that Wizards Unite remains in beta, pricing could change.

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite was originally scheduled to launch in 2018 before being delayed into this year. You can read more about the title in our hands-on impressions, and Android users can pre-register for it on Google Play. There is no word as of yet regarding when the final game will be available around the world.

While you may have to wait a while longer to play Wizards Unite, the other new Harry Potter mobile game, Hogwarts Mystery, is available around the world right now.

The Walking Dead Delivers a Shock to the System

Unpredictability and quality tend to go hand in hand on The Walking Dead. This series often works best when we have no idea what’s going to happen next. The series shows just how unpredictable it can be in issue #191. Just when we thought we knew where the current storyline was headed, this issue comes along to bump the series in a completely different direction. The execution is a little muddled, but the fact that the status quo is now so uncertain and malleable is definitely a good thing.

All-out war between Alexandria and the Commonwealth seemed all but inevitable by the end of issue #190. That’s what the series has been building to since the Commonwealth story began so many months ago. But this issue manages to throw a wrench into the works as Rick makes one last-ditch attempt to make both sides see reason. By all rights this should be a huge momentum killer for the series. It’s taken so long for the Commonwealth storyline to get to this next critical phase, and now we’re not even going to get the big war that’s been brewing all this time?

Marvel’s War of the Realms Grows Even More Zany

Many of Marvel’s crossover events revolve around the world being invaded by an external force – be it aliens, gods or some otherworldly creatures. And all too often, these books fail to capture the true scope of that conflict. Looking back at stories like Secret Invasion and Fear Itself, most of the action was confined to New York City. Heck, how do you have a story called “World War Hulk” and not venture outside Manhattan?

This is a common trap that writer Jason Aaron and artist Russell Dauterman seem determined not to fall into. For whatever faults War of the Realms may have, it isn’t lacking in scale. It gives readers a war that covers not just the entire world, but realms beyond.

Harry Potter Wizards Unite, The Pokemon Go-Like Mobile Game, Is Out Now In Australia

Following its release in New Zealand, Pokemon Go developer Niantic’s newest game, Harry Potter Wizards Unite, is available now in Australia and New Zealand for everyone. It’s just a beta at this stage, so you should expect some bugs and missing features, but it provides a really good look at what to expect from what could become the next big mobile game.

GameSpot explored downtown Sydney, Australia today with Wizards Unite. We joined a House (Gryffindor, of course), built a wand, and fought monsters in the augmented reality game. You can check out around 15 minutes of new gameplay footage in the video embedded above.

There is no word as of yet regarding when Wizards Unite will release in the United States or other parts of the world. It’s typical for big mobile games to have their “soft” launch in Australia and New Zealand as a test of sorts before a wider release around the world.

Wizards Unite is a free-to-play game supported by microtransactions. You can spend money to buy Gold, which can be spent on numerous different time-savers and more. For more on the game’s microtransactions, check out GameSpot’s breakdown here.
