Ubisoft’s team roller-skating game arrives after three years of testing

The aim is to pass four gates placed around the skating rink to open up the goal and score by throwing a ball through it. Doing more laps before you shoot for the goal increases the points you’ll score, and the first team to reach five wins. If you don’t have possession of the ball you can tackle opposing skaters to get it back. There’s some handy moves like dodges and dive passes to avoid being tackled.

The first season will come with a variety of quick and custom match modes, and there will be limited time modes and ranked matches too. Personally, I’m just glad to see a practice mode in the mix, so I can work on my skills a bit before inevitably being tackled by gangs of seven-year-olds. Naturally, there’s a season pass you’ll be able to dip into as well, with both a free track and paid premium tier.

Roller Champions launches its first season on May 25th onUbisoft Connect. If you’re interested then keep an eye on theRoller Championssite for more details.
