Ubisoft has announced that Riders Republic, it’s “mass multiplayer outdoor extreme sports game”, will no longer release on 25th February as previously announced, and has been delayed to some currently unspecified point later this year.
Riders Republic, revealed at the tail-end of last year, is something of a spiritual successor to Ubisoft’s under-appreciated winter sports affair Steep, albeit with that game’s focus on wintery pursuits expanded out to encompass a wide range activities – snowboarding, biking, skiing, and wing suit action (both vanilla and jet-powered) – across varied terrain.
Both solo and co-op play as players participate in events across Riders Republic’s world – stitched together from seven iconic US national parks: Bryce Canyon, Yosemite Valley, Sequoia Park, Zion, Canyonlands, Mammoth Mountain, and Grand Teton – but Ubisoft is very much pushing large-scale competition as a focus, including races with upward of 50 players.
