What do you do when you can't make a game about Harry Potter's broom-based sport, Quidditch? Make a different broom-based sport, of course -- and dollop on some Rocket League while you're at it. Blue Isle Studios does just this with Broomstick League, an arcadey sports game coming soon to PlayStation 4.
As you can see in the above trailer, the game focuses on just one ball, and pits two teams of three witches and wizards against each other in simple competitive matches. The twist is that each player can also cast a handful of spells while zooming around on their Nimbus 2000, enabling you to knock the ball away from opponents or briefly teleport to intercept a shot, for example. It seems you'll also be able to customise the look of your magical avatar with new brooms, outfits, and emotes.
If this controls well, it could be a fun game to play with your Potter-mad pals. What do you think of Broomstick League? Slytherin to the comments below.

I'm interested in this.
It looks like good fun, Quidditch World Cup on Gamecube was hilarious so this could be a laugh.
"Slytherin to the comments below." Brilliantly written and a good shout-out to the best house!
It's not the Harry Potter rpg we have been weighting for but for the right price I might just have to try this
It actually looks kind of fun though. WB seriously needs to release some HP based games. Whatever happend to that leak from maybe a year ago that looked like an amazingly cool HP game?
Boy they straight ripped Rocket League on this one.
I hufflepuff my cheeks out the rip-off of HP on this one.
Will someone think of JK - she needs the money.
Professor Trelawney foresees a cease-and-desist in the near future...
Hmm so this is a Rocket League ripoff with a Harry Potter "inspired" skin?
