    The trailer shows off Beat and Gum on a brand new map titled “Tokyo-To Skatepark”.  There will also be a brand new “JSR Themed Goal Explosion”. Additionally, the crossover seems to capture the art style and music of Jet Set Radio. It’s unknown if series composer Hideki Naganuma will return to create pieces for the crossover.

    Here is the description of the trailer: “Get ready to roll into Tokyoto Champions! We are thrilled to announce that the iconic Sega’s Jet Set Radio will bring the beat to the rink on June 27. Stay tuned for more updates coming soon!” 

    Roller Champions is described by Ubisoft as “a 3v3 sports game where you go head-to-head against the opposing team through speed, wit, crushing tackles, and daring dodges! Be the first team to reach five points by throwing the ball through the hoop!”
