During Ubisoft Forward, the new MMO Riders Republic (PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series) was announced. It focuses on extreme sports experienced in a large, open world. Players can enjoy mountain biking, skiing, and many other sports together.
What kind of game is this? Riders Republic is an MMO in which up to 50 players can move together in an open world. The content revolves around extreme sports, with various types for you to experience.
The trailer already shows:
- Different types of bike races, including downhill and road racing
- Skis and snowboards
- Skateboards
- Paragliding
The open world is inspired by real national parks in the USA, for which the development team from Ubisoft Annecy ventured into nature. The world is designed to be very realistic and beautiful.
Especially the racing events, where players start in masses, look very interesting and fun.
Furthermore, events are already planned to be executed with sponsors, including Red Bull, which is also known for extreme sports in the world beyond video games.
This is how the game works: In Riders Republic, you create a character that you can fully customize. With this character, you can go to different hubs and participate in sports there. You should also be able to play specifically with friends.
The focus is strongly on the social component. Besides races and events, it seems that there is also simply the opportunity to explore and enjoy the open world.
More detailed information about the game is expected to be announced in the coming months.
When will the game be released? The release of Riders Republic was announced for February 25, 2021. The game is set to be released not only for PC, PS4, and Xbox One but also for the new consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X. There is now also information about the release and price for Xbox Series X.
