Ubisoft's Free-to-Play Roller Champions Could Already Be on the Chopping Block

Bail.

We get the distinct impression it’s not been the best year for publisher Ubisoft, and the hits just seem to keep coming. Roller Champions, the publisher’s long-in-development free-to-play futuristic sports game, could already be on the chopping block. That’s despite the release officially rolling out just a couple of months ago, after originally being announced in 2019.


News comes by way of Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb, who revealed on the Xbox Era podcast that sources have told him the title will be cancelled after Season 3. The title’s first full season, with a disco theme and a couple of new maps, is currently underway, suggesting the end is still a little while away if this news is true. As a counter-point, the company recently told investors that the title was tracking ahead of Hyper Scape, although the Battle Royale was unceremoniously shut down earlier this year.


While we must admit we haven’t touched Roller Champions beyond launch, we can’t help but feel for the people at Ubisoft Montreal who spent three years working on the title only for it to already be on the way out. We’ll check in with the firm to see if it has any official statements to share, but Grubb tends to have a reliable track record.
