It's been a while since we heard about Ubisoft's upcoming free-to-play sports title Roller Champions. Bringing us a competitive 3v3 multiplayer experience, we haven't heard much these last few months, save for a developer-focused series of blueprint videos.
Confirmed yesterday by Ubisoft, Roller Champions is now getting a Europe-exclusive closed beta next month, which is running from February 17th until March 1st. Sadly, Switch owners will miss out – it's only coming to PC, PS4 and Xbox One – but they've released a new trailer with it, showcasing what we can expect.
Highlighting new features added since last year's alpha test, they've revealed a brand new arena called The Skatepark, which sports quite a vibrant aesthetic. Ubisoft has also added some new gameplay moves, custom matches, 2v2 mode, ranked mode, and cross-platform multiplayer.
There's no confirmed release date at this time still. All we know is that back in September, it was planned for "Early 2021", so we'll have to wait for further information. Hopefully, that won't be too far off once the beta is finished.
Looking forward to playing Roller Champions? Disappointed the beta is missing Switch? Let us know in the comments below.

What is Roller Champions?
Ah yes, the usual Nintendo exclusion that we're so used to. Nothing new there at least.
It's free to play so it makes no difference, i haven't got time to beta test games with my backlog
@AcridSkull Yeah, same here. I still don't understand how people find the time to play early access games and demos...
@Marioman2020 Rocket League with Rollerblades instead of cars.
@Friendly
Ok
PC Game Hyperblade (1996) was ahead of its time.
We had a nice (not nice) movie called Futuresport (1998) too.
It seems roller champions is not so original as it seems, but looks good.
What's with the colors? Looks garish enough to make my eyes bleed.
Jesus Christ Ubisoft, get it together ... if you want a colorful aesthetic without going full Nintend, look at what EA did with the defunct "Sports Big" line.
This video made me wanna puke
@NightBeast I've bought 2 early access games and both were garbage, never doing that again.
It’s a ubishite game!
Game looks like rubbish, don't care. Also, I'm boycotting Ubisoft.
Look good but not Rocket League level good...
