Through "Ubisoft Forward 2" on Thursday (10/9/2020), the company officially introduced the latest extreme racing game called the Riders Republic. Planned to be present on February 25, 2021, this game is claimed to present an unusual outdoor racing experience. This is based on the concept of racing in the real world.

Ubisoft stated that in the game, players will not only perform high-flying action, landing with tricks, or built-combos between players. This game promises a variety of exciting races such as cycling, skiing, snowboarding, and freefall from a height using a wingsuit through various selected locations.
To do the race, players can choose a location from the seven available open-world locations. All of them are present as representations of famous national parks in the United States, such as Bryce Canyon, Yosemite Valley, Sequoia Park, Zion, Canyonlands, Mount Mammoth, and Grand Teton. All of them can be accessed solo or multiplayer PvP.
Meanwhile, Rider Republic is planned to be divided into several game modes. These include Competitive Races and Trick Challenges, Multiplayer Arenas, and Online Cups for the top spot. One more thing, this game will also present a Mass Start mode that can be played by more than 50 players, which is similar to real races.
"When we decided to provide a social experience, we said, 'OK, how many players can we put in here?' We had over 50 players and decided to go down the hill together, and it was a lot of fun. It was a “wow” moment, and one of those things you haven't seen in many games before, ”said Arnaud Ragot, director at Ubisoft Annecy in a statement.
Apart from presenting a player mode and a choice of locations, this game will also be equipped with a new generation of game qualities. More than 50 players in Mass Starts mode can be viewed simultaneously on the next-gen console display with 60 frames per second display. It will also support "Smart Delivery" - access between console versions - at no additional cost.
For now, Riders Republic is planned to be released for the Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, and PC platforms. Meanwhile, players can access it via the Ubisoft Store, UPLAY +, and the Epic Games Store.
