It has been months since rumors of a reboot of the saga Jet-Set Radio haunt the corridors of the video game sphere. Between hope of announcements and disappointments each time Sega makes an official press release, fans of wrinkled in urban territory look gray. So of course, we have the very funky Rollerdrome, and the Roller Champions from Ubisoft. But it lacks that touch of madness of JSR. Grain of madness that we hope to find in the crossover of Roller Champions And Jet-Set Radiojust announced.
Has anyone seen DJ Professor K?
This collaboration will take shape with the arrival of two new characters: Beat and Gum, emblematic heroes of JSR. A new skatepark will also be available, inspired by the streets of Tokyo-to (fictional city where the events of the saga JSR). A new goal animation will complete the whole thing. This crossover will take place from June 27 to July 14. It is certain that the artistic direction adopted by Beat and Gum to stick to the aesthetics of Roller Champions will not be unanimous… Yes, we greatly preferred the small pointed noses of the design of the DreamCast era to the nasal sphere stuck in the middle of the face of Beat and Gum.
Roller Champions is available on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series, Switch, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Store. For those who believe that the presence of Beat and Gum is only a candy of nostalgia with a flavor too quickly forgotten, remember that Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, the spiritual heir of Jet-Set Radiowill arrive on August 18, 2023.
