Ubisoft Announces New Action Sports MMO With February Release Date
While there are many of us that like to participate in mountain and action sports in real life, some of us also like to participate in those same sports from the comfort of a couch or office chair. In fact, there may be some folks out there that only want to experience these sports from home, which is fine, too. In either case, a new game from Ubisoft should fit the bill.
Announced during the digital press conference, Ubisoft Forward, the brand new action and mountain sports-themed M.M.O Riders Republic will be heading to just about every game system available on February 25th, 2021. This includes Both PlayStation4 & PlayStation5, Xbox One & Xbox Series X, Stadia, and PC via the Ubisoft Store, the UPLAY+, and the Epic Games Store.
In this game, players will have the chance to ski, snowboard, bike, and wingsuit their way through some very realistically crafted, gaming versions of some of the top outdoor venues around, including Bryce Canyon, Yosemite Valley, Sequoia Park, Zion, Canyonlands, Mammoth Mountain, and Grand Teton.
"Riders Republic is a way for us to bring players to places that sometimes aren’t accessible to everyone. The U.S. National Parks are among the most enjoyable places in the world to visit and we wanted to make sure that when players are there in-game, it feels like they’re really there. How do we approach that? We have a concept team –made up of people from the world team and people from the art team – who were sent on an exploration trip discovering places, the mood, ambiance, the people, the iconic vistas, the stories, etc. We started with a lot of references from the places, working with athletes and researchers to make sure we can gather as many references as possible to be a truly immersive experience. Then, we used technology that allows us to create terrain based on GPS data from the National Parks." - Arnaud Ragot, Director at Ubisoft AnnecyPhoto Credit: Ubisoft/Riders Republic Game/FB
