Ubisoft announces everybody will be able to play
Roller Champions a
week from today as the free-to-play roller derby game will launch on May 25th.
For a look at the game there's an
Overview Trailer. For more, there's a
Dev
Stream Video where some very enthusiastic developers talk about their game
and
another video where they discuss the launch of the game's creator program.
Here's more on this multiplayer team sport:
In each match, you and two
teammates will face off against another team of three in an elliptical arena.
The goal is straightforward – reach five points before your opponents do – and
the basics are easy to grasp. Keep control of the ball by skating and passing,
steal it from your opponents with a well-timed tackle, and make a full lap of
the arena to open up the goal and take your shot. Once you’ve got the
fundamentals down, you can level up your game by practicing and socializing in
the skatepark hub, and then using your skills in matches to execute team
maneuvers and do multiple laps to increase the points each goal is worth.
Teamwork, dedication, and daring are your keys to progressing from your scrappy
beginnings through bigger stadiums and tougher competition all the way to the
Elite Champions’
league.
