Keep on rolling on
RememberRoller Champions, Ubisoft’s long-in-development competitive sports title? It’s now aiming for a later window than previously expected.
The three-on-three roller-skating game has been pushed back a few times sinceits first reveal in 2019. It was expected inearly 2021at some point, but has popped on and off the radar since then. Now, it looks likeRoller Championshas another delay, now pushing it out to late spring.
In an update on theRoller ChampionsDiscord that’s been spreading around (viaTom Henderson), the team says it needs “a bit more time” to deliver.
“We are hard at work for the wait to be worth your confidence inRoller Championsas the game is getting closer to launch every day,” the statement reads. “We know that many of you have been following the development of the game for a while now and to showcase our appreciation of your continued support, we wanted to ensure you get this news first:Roller Championswill be releasing this late spring.”
According to the statement,Roller Championsis in the final stage of production.
Our earliest impressions ofRoller Championswerenot very strong. It’s certainly a novel concept, but it sounds like, at least in 2019, it wasn’t quite coming together. The high-octane sports game has been in development for a while now though, and while a sign of life is probably appreciated by those holding out for its launch, it’s also been a while.
LaunchingRoller Championswill at least get one more game off the docket for Ubisoft, which has other titles likeSkull & BonesandBeyond Good & Evil 2still drifting. We’ll see whetherRoller Championsfinally gets a full launch later this year.
