We could see from Ubisoft Forward the new title of the manufacturer, which promises to be known by the community.
Riders Republic is a new IP set in massively multiplayer outdoor sports. Riders Republic will be released worldwide on February 25, 2021 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Stadia and Windows PC, exclusively on the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store. The game will also be available on UPLAY+, Ubisoft’s subscription service. Players who purchase Riders Republic on Xbox One or PlayStation 4 will be able to upgrade to the next-gen versions at no additional cost.
Developed by Ubisoft Annecy, Riders Republic invites players to join an exhilarating social playground where they can experience the excitement of extreme sports in a densely populated open world. Players will connect, race and use amazing stunts across an exciting range of sports in bike, ski, snowboard, wingsuit and rocket wingsuit. Whether exploring or gathering in vibrant social gatherings, they’ll always find themselves surrounded by fellow racers.
From snow-capped peaks to barren canyons, Riders Republic allows players to race through the most thrilling landscapes Earth has to offer: America’s National Parks, Bryce Canyon, Yosemite Valley, Sequoia Park, Zion, Canyonlands, Mammoth Mountain and Grand Teton have been all faithfully transposed and blended to create the most unique and vivid gaming experience ever.
Players can team up with or against friends in these crazy multiplayer modes:
- Competitive Races and Trick Challenges: playable solo or in PvP, players will feel the adrenaline of these races and challenges.
- Mass Starts: No holds barred in these frenetic races with more than 50 athletes. Players will need to watch out for their blind spots and protect their position as they collide, bounce and battle their way to the finish line.
- Multiplayer arena: Dominate maps with 6-player team battles.
- Online Cups: Designed for the best athletes to boast and show off by climbing the leaderboard to the top.
“We wanted to combine our love of extreme sports with an adrenaline-packed multiplayer experience by having players share that moment of freedom with 50 other virtual athletes”, said Igor Manceau, Creative Director of Riders Republic at Ubisoft Annecy. “Riders Republic offers fun and healthy competition and allows you to push the boundaries of this genre beyond the limits. We can’t wait for players to immerse themselves in this dynamic world and share their heroic deeds.”
In Career mode, players will be able to make a name for themselves in different sports, climb to the top of the rankings and sign contracts with legendary sponsors by choosing from a wide range of outdoor sports. Players will be able to customize their vehicles thanks to an evolutionary engine, based on personal growth and define every aspect of their avatar. Anything is possible, whether you want to excel at snowboarding or be the fastest thing on two wheels.
Riders Republic will take full advantage of next-gen gameplay, running at 60 FPS and displaying more than 50 players simultaneously on next-gen consoles. Thanks to the intuitive control of the character and the camera combined with the innovative stunt system, all players – beginners or hardcore – will have the opportunity to have maximum fun from the very beginning.
