The Mass Races are the biggest hook though with 64 players participating in one large chaotic race. You could explore the world freely with other players partake in races, trick challenges and Online Cups (which serve as the ranked part of the experience) and play in 6v6 matches. Multiplayer is an important part of the experience and there are quite a number of different avenues to play. Speaking to Red Bull last year, creative director Igor Manceau noted that it’s “not a simulation” and the focus is on being “accessible to all levels of player.” That being said, different bikes will offer different performances based on their real-world models and thanks to numerous sponsors, you’ll spot a number of real-world gear as well. Watch any trailer for the game and it’s clear that hardcore realism isn’t the main goal here. Ranking up will earn items like caps, pants, jerseys and bikes. For example, when signing when Santa Cruz, a player receives three Daily Contracts to complete, from winning three Big or Boss bike events to completing three different stunts. Outfits and gear can also be unlocked from completing weekly challenges with more cosmetics to be added over time.Īside from completing events and spending Bucks in the store, you can also sign with a real-world sponsor to unlock rewards. Along with Bucks, you can also spend real money to purchase Republic Coins and acquire a few “super unique” outfits. Everything can be mixed and matched accordingly so if you want to wear a bunny head to go with your t-shirt and jeans, have at it.

You can also don a variety of clothes, from separate items to full outfits.

There are two body types available with numerous skin tones, hair, hair colors and more to customize. Upon starting the game, you’ll be tasked with creating your very own avatar. This seems to indicate a gauntlet of races across the world but how it all actually plays out remains to be seen. Game director Arnaud Ragot described it to IGN last year as “a never seen before multi-sport competition” which combines all of the different sports into one single event. And if you’re getting bored with a particular sport or want to try something else, then you can seamlessly switch to another.Ĭareer Mode isn’t just about completing random events, unlocking outfits, garnering support from sponsors, and so on – it’s all leading up to the Riders Ridge Invitational. Eventually, you’ll be invited to bigger competitions like the X Games and UCI Mountain Bike World Cup. Each has their own progression path and you’ll partake in different events and challenges to unlock new cosmetics and gear. This is best highlighted in Career Mode, which offers six activities from Bike and Ski Freestyle to Bike and Ski Racing, Wingsuit and Rocket Wingsuit. Earning XP also unlocks new Gear with different rarities with Elite items presumably offering the best stats. As you progress through different aspects of the game, various disciplines of each also open up like freestyle biking or ski racing along with different rewards. There are five in total – wingsuit flying, rocket wingsuiting, snowboarding, mountain biking and skiing – and each has their own unique mechanics and tricks. Just like with Steep, you’re not confined to a single extreme sport. One can also purchase new cosmetics from a shop using in-game currency called Bucks, which further feeds into the customization aspect. Of course, the hub is also where much of the socializing goes on as you show off different outfits, emotes and more while also practicing your tricks. You’ll gather in a social hub with other players, and then group together for different activities. In essence though, Riders Republic is a massively multiplayer-style game. The result is a world that’s defined by its natural beauty more than anything else (with GPS data used to create terrain to ensure the right amount of authenticity). You have the amphitheaters of Bryce Canyon, the granite summits of Yosemite Valley and the diversity of Zion National Park alongside Sequoia Park, Canyonlands, Grand Teton and Mammoth Mountain.
However, it’s actually based off of seven American national parks that have been combined together. Riders Republic takes place in an open world, which isn’t a surprise for Ubisoft titles. Let’s take a look at 15 things you should know before jumping in. Developed by Ubisoft Annecy of Steep fame, it’s looking to combine all kinds of extreme sports into one giant smorgasbord of fun.
