He explained, “We created the rocket wingsuit as a really different and unique experience, complementary to wingsuit. Of course, one sport in the line-up is a little less conventional than the rest, and I made sure to ask Ragot to explain how rocket wingsuiting features in the game (and how it’ll differ from conventional wingsuiting). If your team capture all the kickers of a district, you own it and you get a super score bonus for a while! That’s why teamplay is super critical to win in this mode.” If you perform a trick on one of the kickers, you capture it and it turns into the color of your team. As I said: simple, right? But there is a twist! The map is organized in districts. And the team with the highest score at the end wins. All points you score contribute to your team’s global score. The goal is simple: the arena is filled with many opportunities to score trick points, like jumps, pipes and rails. It’s a 6v6 team game mode, in a special arena somewhere on the map. “We are super excited about it, and there are intense team play sessions on it at the moment, we are eager for players to discover it! The rules are simple. While downhill races and freestyle events for biking and snowboarding are fairly straightforward, Ragot went into more detail on the Tricks Battle Arena events: Because yes, we can switch sports on the fly in the game.”Īlongside (and tied into) its career mode, Riders Republic will offer 50+ player multiplayer, with PvP, ranked PvP and ‘Tricks Battle Arena’ modes, with the idea being that, wherever you are in the world, you’ll be surrounded by other players. “Your ultimate objective is to qualify for the Riders Ridge Invitational, a never seen before multi-sport competition featuring all sports in one single event. But your goal is to qualify for the most iconic competition of each discipline, like the RedBull Rampage, or the XGames.
With a “light story” along the way, Ragot says, “For each career, you’ll have some important milestones to reach by completing events, like getting invited to participate in famous competitions, like UCI world cup events for bikes. And each of the 7 parks has a unique flavor, travelling the world freely across such varied places creates some awe-inspiring moments.Įach sport will feature a separate career path (with real-life sports brand sponsors to be signed by along the way) and separate progression, with gear unlocked for your customisable avatar through each different activity.

It’s a true open-world that you are totally free to explore at your own pace and your own way.
You can move from one to another seamlessly using any of the sports or vehicles featured. “All of the 7 parks we are featuring in the world are seamlessly connected to each other, there is no frontier of some sort. Speaking to IGN, game director Arnaud Ragot explained:
While there have been other games that have captured those feelings to varying degrees of success, Riders Republic is the first of its kind to capture that feeling across more sports than any other to a very successful degree.Set across seven US national parks and landmarks, stitched together into a seamless open world, Riders Republic will offer five different sports: skiing, snowboarding, downhill biking, wingsuiting and, amazingly, rocket wingsuiting (more on that below). All of course, without the actual danger of breaking your neck. You still feel some of the adrenaline that comes with speeding down the side of a snowy mountain on a sunny day, accompanied by the excitement of going off a big jump, pulling off a cool trick and landing safely.
It definitely doesn’t feel exactly like it would in real life, but the essential elements are captured. The physics are what matter most in a game like this, on top of how each activity feels, from bike riding, to skiing, to snowboarding, to snowmobiling, air gliding, or just finding anything with wheels on it to go down a mountain on. There’s plenty of depth added with the video-gaming of it all, because it really opens up how much fun this giant sandbox can be. With that said, Riders Republic isn’t as simple of a game that I might make it sound.
