Riders Republic Release Date Set for September

Riders Republic is an upcoming massively multiplayer online, open world, extreme sports game. The game will have a bevy of terrains for players to explore, "from snowy mountains to arid canyons." The game features snowboards, BMX bikes, and a plethora of different modes. There will be PvP modes, 6v6 team PvP modes, and a 50-person "Mass Start" race mode.

Riders Republic is a follow up to Steep, the extreme snowsports game also developed by Ubisoft Annecy and released in 2016. This new game ups the ante on the extremity of the sports and on the number of simultaneous players. It also moves the action to the national parks of the United States.

Revealed at a Ubisoft Forward press conference back in September 2020, the game was originally set for release in February 2021. Ubisoft delayed it in January of this year to give the team more time to polish the project.
