Roller Drama launches on Switch today
Open Lab Games has shared a bit of a surprise as the studio has just launched its new game Roller Drama.
We had last heard about the title back in July. We knew it was planned for early 2023, but an exact date hadn’t been shared. It turns out that Open Lab Games decided to opt for a surprise launch rather than opting to announce the release date in advance.
As a reminder, the title is a visual novel / sport management mashup. Read more about it below.
Roller Drama is the visual novel / sport management mashup game of your DREAMS! Lead a team of Roller Derby athletes to victory using strategy and real-time controls to smash the competition. Outside the ring you’ll have to manage five big personalities as they grapple with friendship, heartbreak, and the gradual collapse of late capitalist society. Your choices, and the outcome of each match, will affect the ultimate fate of the team.
