Take-Two Revives Popular Game That Previously Disappeared

Take-Two Interactive has reintroduced Rollerdrome, a previously delisted title that received significant acclaim from players.

Summary

  • Rollerdrome, a game that received great reviews, is back on digital platforms after being taken down.
  • Fans express disappointment over the shutdown of Roll7, the game’s developer, despite its success.
  • This re-release highlights persistent problems within the gaming industry, including studio closures and layoffs, leading to frustration among both gamers and developers.

Take-Two Interactive has announced the return of the well-received game Rollerdrome, allowing players to purchase it once again. Originally released in 2022, the game merges skating and shooting gameplay. Despite favorable reviews and winning a gaming award, it was removed from stores earlier this year after the closure of its development studio, Roll7.

Now, Rollerdrome is reavailable on platforms such as Xbox, PlayStation, and PC through Steam, costing $29.99. However, it is not included in the Xbox Game Pass, although there is a limited PlayStation Plus Premium Game Trial available.

Rollerdrome’s Relaunch

Fans are conflicted about Rollerdrome’s relaunch; while many are excited to try the game, there is dissatisfaction surrounding the closure of its developer. Some players have taken to leaving reviews advising against purchasing the game outright. This situation reflects broader issues in the gaming industry, with increasing layoffs and studio closures being reported in recent years. While the return of Rollerdrome is a positive development, it brings attention to ongoing concerns about the industry’s future.
