Riders Republic – Ubisoft's "mass multiplayer outdoor extreme sports game" for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC – will no longer release on 25th February as previously announced, and has been delayed to some currently unspecified point later this year.
Riders Republic, revealed at the tail-end of last year, is something of a spiritual successor to Ubisoft's under-appreciated winter sports effort Steep, albeit with that game's focus on snowy pursuits expanded out to encompass a wide range of different activities – snowboarding, biking, skiing, and wing suit action (both vanilla and jet-powered) – across varied terrain.
Solo and co-op play is supported as players participate in events across Riders Republic's world – stitched together from seven iconic US national parks: Bryce Canyon, Yosemite Valley, Sequoia Park, Zion, Canyonlands, Mammoth Mountain, and Grand Teton – but Ubisoft is very much pushing large-scale competition as a focus, including races with upward of 50 players.
