What made the blandness of Roller Champions even more surprising is that it had been delayed for two years prior to release. Sure, you can knock people down, but can you run them into the rails and fold them up like a soft taco? No, you cannot. I expect a roller derby game to let me mess people up in fun and interesting ways, yet Roller Champions is soft and bloodless. The gameplay was simplistic, team dynamics in pickup games are effectively zero, and-I said it before and I’ll say it again-it’s just not violent enough. I played some Roller Champions (opens in new tab) back in May when it first went live, and I can’t say it made much of an impression.

Hello Champions! Let’s clear it out of the way first, Roller Champions isn’t getting cancelled, and Ubisoft fully supports it. “We strongly believe, however, that before we release new content, we’ve got to do right by our players, hence why we are taking the time needed before we do.” “As far as content is concerned, we can tell you that we’ve got exciting stuff planned for the next seasons,” Ubisoft wrote.

To that end, Ubisoft is extending the current season, Disco Fever (opens in new tab), in order to launch an update incorporating cross-invites (Roller Champions supports crossplay, but you can only invite friends to play if they’re on the same platform as you) and, separately, “to solve the issues our players have voiced as irritant.” Ubisoft said the cross-invites patch will include other fixes, but it will continue working on other improvements to the game after that, but before it begins a new season. “What the Roller Champions dev team is doing is making sure we focus on what our players have told us needs improvements, and that supersedes all other priorities.” It had previously missed its last release window in the early months of 2022, but May and June look to be relatively free of heavy hitters, so Ubisoft’s newest could find a sizable audience if its sports action can deliver on its action-packed promise.“Let’s clear it out of the way first, Roller Champions isn’t getting cancelled, and Ubisoft fully supports it,” developer Ubisoft Montreal said on Twitter. The debut of Roller Champions may have flown under the radar for some, but it is confirming a previously leaked release date for the sports game that’s been a long time coming after its reveal at E3 2019.

And while it is hitting PS4, Xbox One, and PC first, the title will also be making its way to Nintendo Switch, Stadia, Amazon Luna, and mobile platforms sometime in the future. Users can also invite their friends to play the game and both will get rewards for doing jumping in. The first season of cosmetics (that will be exclusive to said season) will also be one month long. There’s an in-game store and a seasonal “roller pass” full of items that will be spread across a free and premium tier. Of course, since Roller Champions is a free-to-play game in 2022, there are plenty of premium cosmetic options.
