Ubisoft’s Roller Champions rolls out next week on May 25 [Destructoid]
Ubisoft’s extreme sports competition Roller Champions is finally rolling out. The competitive team sports game will go live next week on May 25 as a free-to-play title.
The action kicks off on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, as well as Xbox Series X|S and PS5 via backward compatibility. Roller Champions will also be coming to Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia, and Amazon Luna, though it’ll be at a later date.
The roller derby action sports game Roller Champions was first announced by Ubisoft a few years ago. Ever since, it’s been rolling through a few technical tests and delays, popping up every now and then before disappearing into the night. Now, at least, the high-octane roller bash is finally debuting.
The general flow of Roller Champions is two teams of roller skaters competing to reach five points. They pick up these points by racing laps around the arena with the ball in their possession, cashing them in when they dunk it in the goal. There’s wallriding, tackling, and general action-sports moves to cause chaos along the way.
Push it to the brink
It looks like Roller Champions will also have the features of most modern F2P games. Play online matches in quick play alone or with pals. There are maps to unlock and time-limited modes, as well as cosmetics to customize your avatar’s appearance. And of course, seasons with special cosmetics linked to them. The kickoff season starts the day Roller Champions launches.
The nice part is that Roller Champions isn’t just free-to-play, but also cross-play and cross-progression, so it’s easy enough to hop and check it out on any platform. There’s also some social hangout areas, with practice rinks and minigames. It’s a bit of a sudden surprise, but Ubisoft’s Roller Champions looks to finally put some wheels down in the arena next week.
