From the outset, players can choose two body types for their avatar. You can modify their skin tone, face, eyes, hair, hair color, facial hair and whatnot (with the option to go back and change things if you’re not satisfied). Next up is your rider’s fashion – there are a variety of different clothing items and gear to unlock, including full outfits. Outfits can be mixed and matched with all other clothing to create a unique look.

One important thing to note is that the “vast majority” of these customization items are available from “just playing the game.” Some avenues for obtaining outfits include riding for a sponsor and completing objectives to rank up for rewards; completing weekly challenges; and Bucks, the in-game currency which can be used to purchase outfits from the in-game shop. New outfit collections will be added to the shop on a regular basis.

Riders Republic releases on October 28th and will be available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC and Google Stadia. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

In terms of content, the beta provides a look at skiing, biking, wingsuiting, rocket wingsuiting and snowboarding, which can all be seen below. Players can execute over 100 tricks and unlock new outfits and gear. Multiplayer races are also showcased, and though it’s hard to tell whether 50 players are participating, they still look suitably chaotic and fun.

Riders Republic is out on October 28th for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC and Google Stadia, having been delayed from its original September release date. An open beta should also take place in the coming month so stay tuned for more details (and leaked gameplay) in the meantime.

Joining the likes of Hogwarts Legacy, Ubisoft has announced that Riders Republic has been delayed. Instead of February 25th, the sports title is now slated for later this year. In a new tweet, developer Ubisoft Annency said the additional time “will allow our passionate team to deliver the best fun fueled experience to our players.”

Announced at Ubisoft Forward in September 2020, Riders Republic is a massive multiplayer experience with several sports activities like snowboarding, mountain biking, wingsuit flying and more. The main selling point of the game is its enormous races where more than 50 players can participate at once. It also features a Career Mode and large open world based on various US National Parks.

Riders Republic is slated in development for Xbox One and PS4 along with Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC and Google Stadia. However, it remains to be seen if the previous-gen versions will be dropped in favor of the current-gen (especially when the former can only handle 20 players in a large race). As to the new release date, stay tuned for more details and updates in the coming months.
