Niantic VP of Marketing has been speaking about the up and coming mobile game, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, and has let fans know that it is coming soon.
When Niantic plans to release Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is a big talking point amongst Potterheads right now. Niantic announced the game was in development some time ago but has been reluctant to give us a release date.
As we grow closer to the end of 2018, debates over if it will be released in 2018 or 2019 have been waged. Evidence supports both sides of the argument, so the debate is currently in a stalemate.

Niantic VP of Marketing, Bill Kildav, threw his hat into the debate recently when he spoke about the upcoming mobile game. In a Q+A session, he was asked the question about the status of Harry Potter: Wizards Unite.
His answer was a very simple, encouraging, but not massively helpful; “It’s coming soon.”
Like I said. Not really the answer we were looking for, but an important one none the less.

It doesn’t help the debate of if the mobile AR game will be released in 2018 or 2019. We are so close to 2019 now, that “coming soon,” could refer to early 2019, just as much as late 2018.
Being realistic, Bill Kildav making this statement suggests that Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is not going to be arriving in the next month, but it is a good bet it will be here in he next six months.
The good news to take away from this is Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is not being delayed by a year or so. Announcing “It’s coming soon” suggest they are in the final stages before the official launch, so unless something truly disastrous happens, like Niantic going bust, it is not about to be pushed back.
