WB Games has announced that it's once again remastering both of its popular LEGO Harry Potter games. Originally released in 2010, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 adapted the first four entries in the mega-hit film series. It was followed by LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 in 2011 which then resulted in a compiled version dubbed LEGO Harry Potter Collection launching in 2016. Now, some eight years after this release, WB Games looking to bring back these fan-favorite LEGO titles with some new improvements for modern hardware. 

Announced as part of the "Back to Hogwarts" event today, WB Games revealed that it's once again re-releasing LEGO Harry Potter Collection on current-gen platforms. Set to release on October 8th, LEGO Harry Potter Collection will be coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (via Steam) at a price of $39.99. As for what will be improved with this remaster, WB Games says it has added "60 FPS, native 4K resolution, haptic feedback, and high-resolution shadow maps."

In the near term, though, Harry Potter fans can expect a new video game tied to the franchise to launch in mere days. On Tuesday, September 3rd, WB Games will be releasing Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, which is a new multiplayer-focused title that centers entirely around the wizarding sport of Quidditch. The game is set to be available for both current and last-generation platforms and will also be arriving as a monthly title for PlayStation Plus.
