The animation for the Rollerdrome official launch trailer is one of the bests we’ve ever seen
The Rollerdrome official launch trailer is out and it’s a beauty.
Rollerdrome is the new third-person action shooter video game developed by Roll7. The game blends roller-skating with intense gun battles to produce a truly distinctive experience.
As seen in the Rollerdrome official launch trailer, players will compete against others in a gladiatorial-style arena known as the “Rollerdrome” while using weapons, shields, jetpacks—and of course—rollerblades. Additionally, the game’s cel-shaded visuals art style gives off a strong vibe to throwback cel-shaded games such as XIII or Jet Set Radio. Rollerdrome might be the combination of the two we never knew we wanted.
For some context, the game is set in the year 2030. Major corporations are in rule of the Rollerdrome universe. These companies want to keep everyone in check by diverting their attention with a vicious bloodsport known as Rollerdrome.

Players will take control of the character named Kara Hassan, one of Rollerdrome’s top players. Her two goals are to become the best in the Rollerdrome arena and to learn the darkest, dirtiest secrets of the Matterhorn Corporation.
Not seen in the trailer is the game’s bullet time system, a feature that was pioneered by the 2001 third-person shooter, Max Payne. The fact that players can use this ability and kill in style while moving quickly, pulling off wicked stunts, and wall riding, is mind blowing.
Unfortunately, Rollerdrome is only single-player as of now. We could imagine an update for the game that brings in multiplayer functionality in the future. Fingers crossed.
