Roll7 has only made two kinds of games so far, games with extreme sports like OlliOlli World, and games where you shoot people to death like Not A Hero. Their next title, Rollerdrome, combines both.
At the June 2022 State Of Play, Rollerdrome got to showcase some roller-skating and shooting action. Set in a dystopian retrofuture, you play as Kara Hassan, a newcomer to the Rollerdrome sport.
Rollerdrome sports an original soundtrack by Electric Dragon. And that darksynth sounds are paired with a relatively more realistic comic book-inspired art. Underneath the literal “skate or die” aspect of Rollerdrome is a dark conspiracy that you will uncover.
Rollerdrome feels like a flip on the OlliOlli vibe. While the latter channels joyous chill skateboarding, Rollerdrome is here with some sinister, violent rollerblading. And guns.
Rollerdrome is coming out on August 16 for PS4, PS5 and PC (Steam). Yes, that’s this year. OlliOlli World was released earlier this February, and is a fantastic title if you ask us, so we’ll see if this can continue the good roll the devs are having.
