In the statement, Ubisoft said that Roller Champions current season is going to be extended so that the developer can focus on making needed improvements to the game, with the main concern being the ability to send cross-platform invites to other players. The statement does not say how long the current season is going to be extended but Ubisoft did say that it has exciting plans for the next few seasons.
GameSpot has reached out to Ubisoft for comment.
Ubisoft had previously shared a list of priorities for Roller Champions, with crash reductions, ranked matchmaking improvements, and cross-platform invites being the highest priority. Ranked experience improvements and an adjustment of quit-time bans and rank impacts following that. Ubisoft also said that Roller Champions looked at Rainbow Six Siege and Hyper Scape when planning its live-service elements.
