Roller Champions, Ubisoft’s roller derby game, to be released May 25

Roller Champions, a free-to-play PvP derby game, was first revealed at E3 2019 by Ubisoft, and now we know when the game will arrive. Roller Champions is set to launch on May 25 on PC, PlayStation 4 and PS5, and Xbox One and Xbox Series X. It will be released for the Nintendo Switch, Stadia, and Amazon Luna at a later date.

The rules of Roller Champions are simple: two groups of three players race around a track, competing to keep possession of a ball. If a team holds the ball while racing, they will score more points when the ball is finally tossed through the scoring hoop. If the other team grabs the ball, the players lose the tasty points. Movement is very important; players need to keep themselves safe if they have the ball, or deck their opponents to get an advantage. The arena also looks larger than life, with massive scalable walls, bright lights, and Tron-like streams of light following each competitor.

Players can progress from a rookie in derby to becoming a star by unlocking new leagues or stadiums. Players can create intimidating and adorable avatars by customizing their champions as they unlock new items. Rocket Champions is completely free to play, however exclusive cosmetic rewards can be purchased with a Roller Pass that will expire on a specific schedule.
