Roll7's OlliOlli World and Rollerdrome are back on Steam

<p>Their creators might be gone, but <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:1;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.engadget.com/olliolli-world-gameplay-preview-140021521.html">OlliOlli World[/url] and <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:2;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.engadget.com/rollerdrome-preview-olliolli-skates-ps5-steam-160030108.html">Rollerdrome[/url] are finally back on Steam, <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:3;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1190170/OlliOlli_World/?curator_clanid=2428135">based on[/url] <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:4;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/1294420/">listings[/url] spotted by <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:5;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.eurogamer.net/roll7s-skating-games-olliolli-world-and-rollerdrome-return-to-steam">Eurogamer[/url]. Both games were delisted from storefronts like Steam and the Xbox Games Store following publisher <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:6;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.engadget.com/take-two-is-shutting-down-the-studios-behind-rollerdrome-and-kerbal-space-program-2-000253545.html">Take-Two's decision[/url] to shutdown developer Roll7, Intercept Games and publishing label Private Division a little over a year ago.</p>
<p>OlliOlli World and Rollerdrome represent diverging, but equally great examples of what made Roll7 special. They're thoughtful, visually stylish games about skateboarding and rollerblading that capture the zen-like state you can enter pulling off multiple tricks in a row (plus or minus a mascot costume and a shotgun).</p>
<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>Eurogamer notes that Take-Two always planned to put both games back on sale when it originally delisted them, it just took a lot longer to bring them back than expected. 2K, another Take-Two subsidiary, is now serving as the publisher.&nbsp;</p>
<p>When the company closed Private Division, not every game stayed at Take-Two. The publisher continues to back games like <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:7;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.engadget.com/no-rest-for-the-wicked-is-a-medieval-action-rpg-from-the-ori-team-020119459.html">No Rest for the Wicked[/url]&nbsp;from the developer of Ori and the Blind Forest, but a collection of other in-development projects were sold to Haveli Investments, <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:8;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-07/ex-annapurna-video-game-staff-to-absorb-former-take-two-label-private-division">Bloomberg reports[/url].
