Roller Champions is a 3v3 competitive multiplayer sports game played from a third-person perspective. The track has four gates, with a net next to each one. The game starts with the ball dropping from one of them. Players can grab the ball, throw it, and pass it to their teammates, as well as tackle their opponents and jump. To unlock the net, the team must go through all four gates while in possession of the ball. If the opposing team takes possession of the ball for any reason, all the gates are reset. Once the net is unlocked, the team in possession of the ball can shoot into it to score points. Shooting the ball into the net on the first lap is worth one point. If the team goes through all four gates for a second lap without being intercepted, they can score three points upon a successful shot into the net. If the team completes a third lap, they can score five points. To win the game, the team must either score five points before the timer of 7 minutes runs out or score more points than the other team once the timer elapses. At the end of each match, participating players gain “fans” that can be used to advance through the roller pass tiers to gain cosmetic items and unlock new arenas.

Ubisoft officially announced the game during their press conference at E3 2019. A pre-alpha demo was available via Uplay from June 10 to June 14. In a developer stream, Ubisoft confirmed that the game is in development for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One and mobile devices as well. The game was stated to be set for originally release in early 2021, though it was subsequently delayed to May 25, 2022 for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, with the Nintendo Switch version being delayed to June 21, 2022.
