Samsung would have an exclusive version of the game Harry Potter Wizards Unite
Last September, the version of Fortnite for Android came exclusively from Samsung for owners of the Galaxy S9. Apparently, the company could follow the same strategy with one of the most anticipated games: Harry Potter Wizards Unite. Sources say that to achieve its goal, the South Korean company would pay close to 40 million euros in exchange for Niantic,developer of this title, to launch it exclusively on its next flagship: Samsung Galaxy S10.The device would be announced next February at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Everything indicates that this announcement could be made official before the end of the year, although rumors maintain that both companies could choose to wait for further progress, which would lead us to clear up doubts in January or February. What is clear is that this agreement would come at a crucial moment for Samsung and Niantic. On the one hand, the Asian firm would seek to differentiate itself from its main rivals. On the other, the creator of Pokémon Go would need to raise money to support its impending IPO.
As far as is known, the new augmented reality game would be based on the Harry Potter universe. Players would embody magicians and have to fight against powerful enemies and legendary beasts.Apparently, Samsung's S Pen could be used as a kind of magic wand to help us move better at game time. Of course, what is not very clear for now is whether it would be a reworked version of the Niantic Harry Potter Wizards Unite title, whose launch is scheduled for 2019, or a new title designed exclusively for Galaxy devices.
We do expect this game to come pre-installed on Samsung's next flagship (Galaxy S10), just like Fortnite did on the S9. For the At the moment, neither of the two companies has ruled on this news. We will be very attentive to new information to give you information when appropriate.
