In our review of the game, we concluded that it just wasn't capable of reaching the heights of its over-the-top sports game contemporaries, and while the gameplay was initially fun, 'it lacks in pretty much every other department and there’s just not enough content in here to satisfy anyone.' While this cancellation would mean that Roller Champions' Switch career will have been short-lived, we can't say that we are necessarily surprised.

Check out the timestamped video at the bottom of the page to hear Grubb's full statement. The report comes courtesy of Giant Bomb journalist, Jeff Grubb, who stated, 'Roller Champions is gonna be cancelled after Season 3' when speaking on the Xbox Era Podcast. While still relatively new to Switch consoles, it has been reported that that the Rocket League-inspired high-intensity roller derby game, Roller Champions, is set to be canned after its third season. You can rest assured we’ll keep you updated as we roll forward.įull statement: /U8mfQRZRoH- Roller Champions July 25, 2022 Hello Champions! Let’s clear it out of the way first, Roller Champions isn’t getting cancelled, and Ubisoft fully supports it. This is just the first move in continuing to support the game, it seems, as the statement also suggests that "more improvements" will be coming before the next season.
#UBISOFT ROLLER CHAMPIONS PATCH#
The team have said that they will be extending Disco Fever's length - the name for the current season of the game - and adding a patch that lets players send out cross-play invites and fixes several bugs. It’s unconfirmed whether Grubb’s report is true, but it doesn’t bode well for the health of another Ubisoft free-to-play title.Ubisoft has posted a statement, saying that the game "isn't getting cancelled" and that "Ubisoft fully supports it", with the development team "making sure we focus on what our players have told us needs improvement". It was originally scheduled to be released in May 2021 but was delayed for over a year. Roller Champions was announced in 2019, followed by an alpha build demo in June of the same year. Ghost Recon Frontline was going to be a free-to-play battle royale title, a genre Ubisoft keeps trying to break into. According to reporting by Video Game Chronicle, Splinter Cell VR, Ghost Recon Frontline, and two unannounced titles had their development shut down.
A potential Roller Champions cancelation would be a continuation of Ubisoft issues over the past couple of years. Roller Champions could surpass Hyper Scape but not meet overall expectations. Also developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Hyper Scape was a free-to-play battle royale shooter that stopped receiving updates only a year after its 2020 release. Ubisoft said during its recent financial call that Roller Champions is performing better than the ill-fated Hyper Scape. With continued updates, the cancellation would be an abrupt shift from the public-facing narrative around Roller Champions. Season three launched on June 21, bringing new maps, game modes, and a season pass to the game.
“Roller Champions is going to be canceled after season three,” Grubb said on the podcast. Roller Champions, Ubisoft Montreal’s free-to-play action roller derby game, may be coming to a swift end, according to Giant Bomb reporter Jeff Grubb.Īs stated on the Xbox Era podcast, the Ubisoft title released on May 25 this year could be shut down after its third in-game season.
