Seriously, where are these people’s helmets? For goodness sakes, they’re riding their bikes upside down and in mid-air:

BETA ANNOUNCEMENT TRAILER | RIDERS REPUBLIC
Of most interest to me is the ‘Mass Races’ multiplayer mode, which is what the trailer above and most of the game’s marketing focuses on. These are multisport races where over 50 players compete to race downhill on bike or snowboard or wingsuit and so on. I would posit that the flying people with rockets on their back have a natural advantage over the bikers, but maybe I’ve got gravity wrong. I’m in this mode because downhill races are what made SSX great, and because I am a sucker for a colourful spectacle.
On PC, the Riders Republic beta will run via Ubisoft Connect (the Uplay successor) and the Epic Games Store. You canregister for a chance at access over here, and you’ll get automatic access if you’re a Ubisoft+ subscriber.
If you get access to the beta, you’ll be able to pre-load it from August 21st, and also share your invite with two other friends to play with. Hey - I’m basically your friend, right?
