Ubisoft’s free-to-play team-based sports game Roller Champions finally has a release date and will, after a bit of a delay earlier this year, be launching next Wednesday, 25th May on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
Roller Champions, if you’re unfamiliar, is Ubisoft’s stab at creating the kind of knockabout sports mash-up that’s made Rocket League such a perennial favourite, playing out like a fast-paced hybrid of competitive roller-skating, hockey, and football – wherein two teams of three hurtle around a track in an attempt to wrestle the ball from one another and score a goal.
Is it any good? Time will tell, but Eurogamer’s Chris Tapsell was pretty impressed when he played an early version shortly after its E3 2019 unveiling, calling it “honestly one of the demos I found hardest to tear myself away from.”
