The new spell-slinging fantasy RPG Spells & Secrets received a gameplay trailer during the Summer Game Fest Guerrilla Collective 3.0 showcase, displaying a setting similar to Harry Potter.

The original release trailer for Spells & Secrets has also confirmed a co-op mode will be available, allowing players to grab their wands and team up with friends while playing.
