50-player mayhem in the national parks
The extreme sports open-world-national-parks multiplayer gameRiders Republicresurfaced at the Ubisoft Forward E3 2021 stream, and you know what? As much asSteepcouldn’t quite click with me, I’m digging this whole kitchen-sink vibe.
Aside from a gameplay preview during Ubisoft Forward, we also learned the new locked-in,post-delayrelease date: July 20, 2025. There will bebetas, too.
Snowboarding, biking, skiing, jet-boosting with a crazy wingsuit — I don’t care about every discipline, but there are options, and I’m also in for the 50-players-at-once chaos on PC, PS5, Stadia, and Xbox Series X/S. (PS4 and Xbox One versions are also coming.)
Modes-wise,Riders Republichas races, trick challenges, arenas, online cups, Mass Start races where everyone descends at once, and Community Jams in which “50+ player events randomly pop up on the map.” As a fan ofThe Crew, that last one speaks to me.
Multiplayer hijinks are clearly the name of the game, but there will be solo play.
During E3, Ubisoft also confirmed cross-play and cross-progression.
