Harry Potter: Wizards Unite players have a big weekend planned with the spooky October Community Day event just a few hours away from kicking off, but that's not the only excitement surrounding the mobile AR game. Update 2.5.0 is arriving as well and this patch brings some significant new features, quality of life improvements, and changes with it. Much like Pokemon GO, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite receives very frequent content updates, but some are more impactful on the front-end than others. This particular update adds some long requested features, including a Ready button that is still missing in Pokemon GO, in addition to some back end changes that pave the way for a new series of Research Tasks. The update is expected to officially release sometime later this week, but the full details leaked early due to a mistake on the Samsung app store. The update contains code that is necessary for an incoming October 31 special event, so it seems logical that it will definitely be pushed out to all users before that kicks off. Added a new Chamber Lobby experience! If you join a Chamber with other players, you can now tap Ready to let your teammates know you are ready to join the fight! Likewise, you will now see when other players are ready to start the Challenge. As a solo player, you can now skip pass the start timer by tapping Start and being dropped straight into the Chamber! Greenhouses now always provide Spell Energy along with Ingredients. Added photo mode for the Golden Snitch Foundable. When using Dawdle Draught, you will now see a pop up when the Potion prevented an Encounter from fleeing. House-specific items will now be grouped together. Tap on the Gryffindor House items to see items for the other Hogwarts Houses. Lenses and Frames rewarded from events will now be grouped together. Added “Download Essential Assets” to the settings menu for users with limited device storage. Choosing this option will download some of the game assets ahead of time but will not download all the game assets. Removed the badge (red dot) from Download All Assets in Settings. The gift feature discovered within 2.5.0 is reported to be very similar to the gift feature currently in place for Pokémon GO. Gifts are packages of useful items that you can send to your Friends via Owl Post. They may contain rare Potion Ingredients, Spell Energy, Runestones, and even Foundables! Find gifts by dining at Inns, harvesting Greenhouses, and completing Wizarding Challenges. You can send a limited number of gifts each day, and a Friend must open your gift before you can send them another one. You can acquire gifts by: Dining at Inns Harvesting Greenhouses Completing Challenges in Fortresses There will be three types of gifts: Ancients Giftbox – rewards Runestones Energetic Giftbox – rewards Spell Energy Herbal Giftbox – rewards Ingredients New tasks have been added within the code for 2.5.0 but there are no details on when these tasks will be available for gameplay.

There's a ton to digest in those patch notes and players are going to be thrilled with some of these updates. Photo Mode is a highly requested feature that will likely be put to use in future events and the Fortress Ready Button is going to be a huge quality of life improvement that speeds up battles. Although the new Tasks aren't officially going live yet, it will be exciting to have some new challenges in the rotation in the near future.
