Roller Champions Closed Alpha: All The Details, And How To Sign Up

Roller Champions, Ubisoft's upcoming free-to-play roller derby game for PC, is getting a closed alpha soon. The alpha, which starts on March 11, 4 PM UTC (9 AM PT) and runs until March 23, will give participants the chance to experience the game early, and potentially influence its development.

If you're interested, you can sign up now on the game's website, which will also allow you to receive updates on the game's development.

Ubisoft has also released a new trailer and screenshots ahead of the alpha to give you a better idea of what to expect.

In the game, two teams of three players square off in various arenas, and the goal is to get your hands on the ball and fire it into the illuminated hoops along the side of the roller rink. You'll have to dodge and tackle your opponents and work together to win.
