Riders Republic is taking the sports game to the extreme
Ubisoft like to end their presentations with a one more thing and this time it was a new mass multiplayer sports title called Riders Republic and is all about teaming up with mates, exploring seven different themed locations and having fun doing it.
From arid canyons to snowy mountains, Riders Republic allows players to ride through some of the most magnificent destinations on earth. The American National Parks, Bryce Canyon, Yosemite Valley, Sequoia Park, Zion, Canyonlands, Mammoth Mountain and Grand Teton have been faithfully recreated and imaginatively mashed together to create the liveliest sports park.
“We wanted to combine our love for extreme sports with an adrenaline-filled multiplayer experience, letting players share those unique riding moments with more than 50 other players at all times,” said Igor Manceau, Creative Director of Riders Republic at Ubisoft Annecy. “Riders Republic offers fun and light-hearted competition and allows us to push the boundaries with this genre. We can’t wait for riders to dive into this dynamic world and share their own epic stories.”
There is a full career mode, for those that want to experience the thrill of rising to the top, complete with a boat load of gear to unlock. For those that that just want to test their skills against the others, there are a few different multiplayer options.
Competitive Races and Trick Challenges: Playable in PvP and solo, players will feel the rush during these races and challenges.
Mass Starts: Nothing is off-limits in these frantic races with more than 50 players on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, with current consoles maxed at 20. Players will need to watch their blind spots and protect their position as they collide, grind and fight their way to the finish line.
Multiplayer Arenas: Dominate maps in 6v6 PvP matchups.
The game is set to release on February 25 for Xbox Series X and Series S, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, those who get it on current gen platforms, can upgrade later for free on the next gen, if they stick within the same console family.
