October 28 is when Ubisoft’s extreme sports offering Riders Republic will hit store shelves but in the week leading up to it, you can enjoy the game for free. The company has announced a Trial Week from October 21 to October 28, between which you can indulge in the game free of cost on all platforms. The catch is that you can only play it for up to four hours.
That’s still a good offer though, especially for folks who are on the fence about purchasing Riders Republic once it’s made available. This is not the first time it’s being made available either. Ubisoft has already held a closed beta for the game as well as a 24-hour test on PC.
The progress you’ll make in the four hours of playing the Trial Week of Riders Republic will carry over to the full game should you choose to get it. A Mad Challenge has also been announced by Ubisoft that will be available to participate in during the free trial.
Signing up for this competition earn will allow players to stand a chance to win rewards like a Canyon Bike or some Gold Editions of the game. To be eligible for it, players will need to complete the in-game “ShackDaddy Exclusive Multiplayer Contest.” They need to make the top 10 of any Mass Race during the Trial Week.
Riders Republic is being described as a “massively multiplayer sports game”, because of its ability to allow 50 players to compete at a time. It takes place in an open world that combines seven American national parks, including Bryce Canyon, Yosemite Valley, Sequoia Park, Zion, Canyonlands, Mammoth Mountain, and Grand Teton into one single map.
The Trial Week of Riders Republic is set to go live on October 21 at 9 am CEST.
