Private Division and BAFTA award winner Roll7  have announced that OlliOlli World, the third entry in their OlliOlli series of skateboarding games will be released early next year on February 8, 2022.

The game will maintain the OlliOlli series’ signature flow-state gameplay. This allows for a good balance between focus and relaxation, with ultra-tight controls for the smoothest experience. Players flip and flow through Radlandia, a vibrant world full of colorful characters, as they search for the mystical skate gods on a quest for Gnarvana. Radlandia and its dwellers are delightfully weird and artistically gorgeous.

OlliOlli World includes two asynchronous multiplayer modes: Gnarvana League and Gnarvana Portal. The Gnarvana League is designed for those who love a challenge and want to prove their skate mastery. Leagues pit players against other players with similar skills to compete for the highest score. As contenders advance through the ranks, they get their hands on new character items, including boards, wheels, and more.

In Gnarvana Portal, players can generate original levels based on a selection of parameters like style, difficulty, and length. Each creation comes with a unique virtual 8-digit postcode that can be shared with anyone in the world, enabling players to compete against each other cross-platform.

“In OlliOlli World, you should expect loads of seriously wacky locations to explore and rad new characters to meet,” said John Ribbins, Creative Director of Roll7. “OlliOlli World is a love letter to the bizarre and magnificent aspects of skateboarding culture. It embraces the weird and wonderful aspects of this street phenomenon and encourages you to express yourself freely.”

“Roll7 are the masters of flow-state gameplay,” said Mika Kurosawa, OlliOlli World’s Lead Producer at Private Division. “With OlliOlli World’s perfected controls and highly-refined gameplay experience, the studio ups the ante in this lush skateboarding utopia.”

The game will also release with a deluxe edition called the OlliOlli World Rad Edition, which is available now for digital pre-order and includes:

• OlliOlli World base game
• The first story expansion “Void Riders” contains an entirely new biome, levels, characters, gameplay, and customization unlocks. Coming in Summer 2022;
• Second story expansion containing another entirely new biome, levels, characters, gameplay, and customization unlocks. Coming in Fall 2022;
• “Close Encounter Skate Deck” digital cosmetic item.

OlliOlli World will launch digitally on February 8, 2022, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC via Steam.
