Roller Champions closed alpha test kicks off March 11

Ubisoft has a number of new games stewing within its many studios, and one of those is the competitive-skating digital sport Roller Champions. Now, the publisher wants to see how the free-to-play multiplayer game performs in the real world. Ubisoft is kicking off a closed alpha for Roller Champions that begins March 11 and runs through March 23.

When GamesBeat reviews editor Mike Minotti played Roller Champions in June, he described it as “roller derby-meets-Rocket League.” The goal is to outskate your opponents to get a ball that you shove into an illuminated hoop at the end of the rink. And it seems like fun. You can, of course, attempt to find out for yourself by hopping into the closed alpha test.
