Harry Potter GO or Harry Potter and the Battle of Ingress

I know some of you out there play the Naintic games and most of them know that there's a Harry Potter one coming out, Harry Potter:Wizards Unite. Here is what I know and what my some of my guesses

First, we have the name, Harry Potter:Wizards Unite. The name tells us nothing other then the game is set in the Wizarding World. "But wait" I can hear you say, "doesn't that mean Harry is going to play a role in it?" Nope, because there is another game, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery set in Hogwarts in the years before Harry attends.

We have a website, https://www.harrypotterwizardsunite.com/en/ and a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/HPWizardsUnite/. The website tells us "Harry Potter: Wizards Unite uses state-of-the-art augmented reality technology to reveal the magic all around us. Explore real-world neighbourhoods and cities to discover mysterious artifacts, learn to cast spells, and encounter legendary beasts and iconic characters along the way!"

The only other fact we know is, according to news reports, that it is coming soon.


Now for the speculation:

1. The maps and important locations will be the same Ingress and Pokemon GO. I'm fairly certainof this. The Ingress maps were used for PkG, so its a pretty safe guess.

2. There will be a faction system, but it won't be the Hogwarts Houses. There's too much fandom over the Houses. Maybe a group like the Order of the Phoenix or by the magical schools.

3. There will be in-game resources and a currency system. Its in the other ones, HP:WU will too.

4. The game is going to be released in conjunction with Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. I'm not sure about this one, but I'm sure the marketing team at Warner Brothers would want it at the same time as the movie.

5. The other games communities jump ship, temporally . It happened to Ingress when PkG came out, the same will happen with this release.

So what are you thoughts and what would you like to see?
