In addition to pulling off awesome air tricks, combos and more, you’ll also be able to fully customize the look of your custom created character. This includes several options for gear, clothing, boards, bikes, wingsuits, and other accessories. Look good in Riders Republic‘s harsh environments as well, featuring steep slopes on mountain paths for bikes, and snowy alps on large mountains for snowboarders. It’s all quite reminiscent of another Ubisoft extreme sports title, Steep, though seems to offer a lot more for players to customize and toy around with.
Ubisoft finally announced that Riders Republic will come with cross-play support at launch on all platforms, including allowing players to carry over their progress via cross-progression. It’s a welcomed addition to this extreme sports title that will surely please fans who’d want to play with their friends on different platforms, or otherwise, carry over their progression from one console to the next if they have multiple platforms.
Riders Republic will release on September 2nd, 2021 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC, with betas also planned to arrive before launch.
