![]() Ultimately, the only information we can really go on here is what Ubisoft has said and all the rest is simply speculation. It would not be the first time Ubisoft has decided they can turn around a failed launch, though it would certainly be the most dramatic example if they were doing so. There is also just the possibility that Ubisoft is dedicated to it and the reports of its death are simply incorrect. Considering Ubisoft has said shockingly little about Roller Champions’ success, one would assume there’s just not that much there to talk about. ![]() It could also just be that something isn’t performing as well as expected and they’re moving the resources elsewhere. Is that a cancellation? By some arguments, maybe. Second, it’s very easy to envision a scenario where the game simply isn’t getting the planned resources after season 3. ![]() A live service game with no long-term promises sunsetting isn’t being cancelled and Ubisoft can easily claim it’s not. The extent to which it could be cancelled today doesn’t really fit in with our definition of the word. For one, I don’t think anyone should be using the word “cancelled” here because that could mean a dozen different things for this kind of game. There’s degrees to what each entity is saying that need to be examined a little bit. Probably the end of the story, right? I could definitely believe that and that Ubisoft is dedicated to making Roller Champions a success, but I also don’t entirely think Jeff Grubb is wrong in this instance. So, one person says the game will be cancelled after the next season, and the developer and publisher say it is not being cancelled. The implication is that they have been trying to make the game better before going to the next season and that is why they have been quiet enough for people to think they’re dead. In it, the Roller Champions team explains they are working on fixing the issues people have with the game based on feedback before they start adding new content. The image, which contains many more words saying roughly the same thing, continues in a similar vein. “Hello Champions! Let’s clear it out of the way first, Roller Champions isn’t getting cancelled, and Ubisoft fully supports it,” the tweet starts in plain text. ![]() You can rest assured we’ll keep you updated as we roll forward.įull statement: /U8mfQRZRoH Hello Champions! Let’s clear it out of the way first, Roller Champions isn’t getting cancelled, and Ubisoft fully supports it. In this case, however, Ubisoft has come out with an uncharacteristic denial of Grubb’s claims, putting out a message on social media today to both argue against its own demise and also explain why things have been quiet on the development front. ![]() Perhaps it is Roller Champion’s destiny to only be in the news when we’re talking about whether or not it might be dead. When it finally did release, the dull thud the multiplayer free-to-play sports game made was quiet enough that most people didn’t really notice. It was not until an episode of the Xbox Era podcast that people started talking about the game again, after Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb read a message from a source saying that Roller Champions will be cancelled after season 3. Since its announcement at E3 2019, the most common mention of the title from the French developer & publisher has been exasperated denials of its cancellation at quarterly financial calls.
