Or is it? My favorite pair of skis in Riders Republic look like they were previously used as fence posts and go-to all-round vehicle is the Ice Cream Bike. Nothing beats a pair of skis made of fence posts. In Riders Republic it’s all about fun and mayhem. When adventuring through these National Parks in real life, the bikes, skis, snowboards, wingsuits, and even the gear that you’re wearing is of outmost importance. The same goes for those who’d like to go skiing or snowboarding, as Ubisoft includes some official gear from Black Crows, Faction, Burton, and other manufacturers. Because it’s an open-world game, wherever the player decides to go from a spawning location, we had to be sure they will be able to find activities to attend to,” explains Yann.īike riders will find a plethora of bikes at their disposal from a range of famous brands, including Marin, Canyon, BMC, and Devinci.

Then, we made our own tool to add cliffs, forests, mountains to be sure that we create believable natural environment to represent correctly what these Natural Parks need,” tells me Yann Fieux, World Designer, Ubisoft Annecy. For that, we started with the satellite imagery to ensure that we have all the data at the right scale and with the good locations. “ If you’ve already been to all those places, you’ll be able to recognize all the famous points of interests. They have been faithfully recreated to meet the needs of outdoor sports enthusiasts and populated with all the tracks, roads and pit stops they would need when adventuring in the wild. National Parks included in the game: Bryce Canyon, Yosemite Valley, Sequoia Park, Zion, Canyonlands, Mammoth Mountain, and Grand Teton. You can just take your bike for a stroll through one of the seven U.S. However, the game is not just about competing or racing with your friends.
