Gameplay

Roller Champions is a 3v3 competitive multiplayer sports game played from a third-person perspective. The track has four gates, with a net next to each one. The game starts with the ball dropping from one of them. Players can grab the ball, throw it, and pass it to their teammates, as well as tackle their opponents and jump.

To unlock the net, the team must go through all four gates while in possession of the ball. If the opposing team takes possession of the ball for any reason, all the gates are reset. Once the net is unlocked, the team in possession of the ball can shoot into it to score points.

Development

Ubisoft officially announced the game during their press conference at E3 2019. A pre-alpha demo was available via Uplay from June 10 to June 14.

In a developer stream, Ubisoft confirmed that the game is in development for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One and mobile devices as well. The game was stated to be set for originally release in early 2021, though it was subsequently delayed to May 25, 2022 for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, with the Nintendo Switch version being delayed to June 21, 2022.

Reception

Roller Champions received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.

Ozzie Mejia of Shacknews gave Roller Champions a 7 out of 10 and praised the accessible core experience, crossplay, fast-paced sessions, arena design, and spectator options while criticizing the lack of character customization options, game modes, interesting character models, and long-term engaging gameplay. Jordan Ramée of GameSpot thought positively of the approachable movement mechanics, sense of speed, and incentive to progress, but felt that the skill ceiling was short, the matches were repetitive, and that the multiplayer communication features were lacking.
