As a result, for now you have to play on the same console to play with your friends. Additionally, while cross-play is in the game, you strangely cannot make a cross-platform party. My understanding is that most of these issues have now been resolved and people are having a far smoother experience. I personally ran into very few glitches in my time with Roller Champions. The opening of the game had its struggles many reported issues getting into matches and issues gaining “fans” or XP from those matches. That being said, I suspect those will be added as the game further develops. I really think 2 v 2 should be a core game mode. In the kickoff season, there were 2 limited time modes, one called hot potato (where you had to pass in a certain amount of time or the ball blew up), and another that was a 2v2 mode on a shorter rink.

Each week, there are 3 in-match challenges to complete, and on weekends there are events. The “Roller Pass” was half the length of a normal season’s pass, and included some pretty neat cosmetics. The kickoff season was a sort of soft launch for the game. From there, you will learn various strategies and combine moves to really begin to become skilled at the game. Once this happens a few (probably dozen) times, you start to realize how important building momentum and speed is to success in the game. That is, until the first time someone uppercuts on a wall, and comes blistering down to crush you with a tackle. You will feel like you’re on top of the world. When you first start playing, you will find yourself skating straight-line laps around the arena. In order to succeed, you have to play as a team, and use various moves from the meta of the game to dodge opponents and pass at the right moment.Įasy to learn, hard to master is definitely a statement that applies to Roller Champions. If your team turns the ball over at any time, you lose your progress and have to start over. One lap gets you the ability to score 1 point, 2 laps = 3 points, and 3 laps = 5 points. The goal is for you to skate laps around the rink through gates, which opens the goal. Ubisoft is currently struggling to find its feet after multiple failed releases and delayed games.The best way I can describe the core gameplay of Roller Champions is that it is a 3v3 mix of Roller Derby and Basketball. L ast week the studio announced it was also cancelling Ghost Recon Frontline, an unreleased free-to-play shooter. However, so far things haven’t been going their way. Ubisoft loves making these games in hopes that the studio strikes gold with one release.

Then again, you can’t really blame gamers for not wanting to spend money on another shallow free-to-play game. If the reports are true and Ubisoft does cancel Roller Champions, this would mean the game wasn’t even available for six months on the market before being canned. It seems that the studio just can’t seem to catch a break as it preps to shut down its second free-to-play game in just under a year. The same studio that developed the now-cancelled Hyper Scape game. Roller Champions was developed by Ubisoft Montreal.

The game is still on only a handful of active players on Twitch.

However, Ubisoft might have been beating around the bush. During the company’s financial call, the company said it was tracking better than Hyper Scape, a nother now-cancelled battle royale developed by the studio. Ubisoft recently claimed that Roller Champions was doing well. The game is a free-to-play sports game where players race around a ring bashing into enemy players while stealing a ball to toss into a hoop. Roller Champions was announced back in 2019 and released in May this year. According to an insider, Ubisoft will cancel the game at the end of its third season due to low player counts. Ubisoft’s free-to-play rollerskating game titled Roller Champions is reportedly not doing too great.
