Harry Potter: Wizards Unite players may not be able to head out into the world to look for foundables and battle in front of Fortresses, but that isn't stopping them from staying engaged in the mobile AR game. Niantic has done a lot of work to make the game and its events more playable from home and the latest announcement aims to bring witches and wizards another exciting reason to login and keep playing.
The two-part Burrow Besieged event is just wrapping up, so players can start looking forward to the next ongoing event that will keep them busy and rolling in rewards. According to the latest blog post from Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, fans of the game won't have to wait very long before the next festivities kick off.
The upcoming event puts the spotlight on a new Oddity-like combat encounter, the Poacher. The upcoming event kicks off on April 28 and gives players two days to take advantage of the special challenges, bonuses, and rewards before it wraps up and makes room for the next event.
"Keep your eyes peeled for signs of a new Oddity-like combat encounter, the Poacher! This dastardly villain is targeting Magizoology Foundables and your help is needed to save our furry friends.
Please note: To enable as many players around the world as possible to participate safely, this event has been adjusted to facilitate playing from home. Please remember to adhere to local rules and regulations, and be respectful of others and your surroundings.
From April 28 at 11:00 a.m. – April 30 at 11:00 a.m. PT keep an eye out for the following:
A new Oddity-like combat encounter, the Poacher, will appear on the Map. Defeating the Poacher will reveal Magizoology Traces including Nifflers, Mooncalves, Billywigs, Young Graphorns, Baby Nifflers, Occamy Eggs, Unicorns and Newt Scamander.
Successfully returning a Trace revealed by the Poacher will result in additional rewards such as a rare Potion Ingredient, Tonic for Trace Detection, Gold, or a Silver Key.
Tonic for Trace Detection will increase the chance of encountering the Poacher as well as Newt Scamander.
Special 1 km Portmanteaus will appear on the Map containing Thunderbird or Occamy Fragments.
A Special Assignment with rewards including Spellbooks, Silver Keys and Gold."
Once the event kicks off, we'll likely learn a few more details about exactly what players can expect during the two days of activities. For now, players can practice their battle skills by using the new Knight Bus feature to travel to nearby Fortresses and battle for exciting rewards and experience.
