Roblox UNOfficial, a game that was recently removed off the platform, has returned under a new moniker. The experience’s makers have rebranded their game as LOCOfficial, and it plays similarly to UNO with a few tweaks. Here’s how to access it once more on Roblox.
There are thousands of games in Roblox’s vast metaverse, and creators from all over the world build experiences there using their own ideas and inspiration from other games and pop cultural properties. On the other hand, the platform is home to some extremely popular games with a large number of users.
Recently, Roblox banned the game UNOfficial and other variants of the famous card game UNO due to a DMCA strike initiated by the game’s creators, Mattel. In spite of Mattel’s presence on the site with an official UNO game, unlicensed versions were more popular due to lax censoring of in-game chats.
Developers of UNOfficial have renamed it as LOCOfficial and are getting set to release their removed version once again on Roblox.
UNOfficial makers rebrand their game as LOCOfficial on Roblox
UNOfficial’s development team, Rawblocky, has produced a new game developed from the scrapped original. The new game, called LOCOfficial, is based on a Crazy 8s gaming style that’s very different from UNO. Players will have access to new cards, new unique house rules, and new power ups that can be purchased in the middle of a game.
‼️UNOfficial is back up under a new name & MASSIVE rebrand. The game is no longer under the UNO branding, meaning it's safe from copyright now. The new game follows a Crazy 8s style, otherwise known as “Loco 8s”. It is now titled “LOCOfficial.” https://t.co/dPn2SYAQ8a

The goal of the game, whether played in teams or alone, is to be the first player to clean their hand. The developers state that the game may be played on any computer, mobile device, console, or virtual reality system.

AWESOME!!! So glad you and the team were able to sort out the issues, and not gonna lie, I really like this rebrand. I’m glad you didn’t just leave the game to die after the cease and desist. So, so happy that we can play the same game again, just under a now legal name. 😅
