Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, developer Niantic’s magical spin on the Pokémon Go formula, will permanently shut down on 31st January 2022.
Wizards Unite arrived with much fanfare back June 2019, presenting a more narrative-focused take on the hugely popular location-based AR action of Pokémon Go as Harry Potter seeped into the real-world.
Come 31st January next year, all servers and features will be switched off and the Wizards Unite app will be removed from digital storefronts.
“Not all games are meant to last forever,” Niantic wrote in a statement announcing Wizards Unite’s imminent closure.
