Hey, riders!
Season 16 of Riders Republic finally brings the long-requested Dirt Bikes!
It also introduces exciting new features to the Park Creator. You can now color your objects!
Before we dive into the details, here's a quick recap:
- Park Creator improvements on October 7th, after maintenance
- New seasonal content on October 8th
- Dirt Bike on October 8th
Dirt Bikes
Dirt Bikes have been one of the most requested features since Riders Republic was released, and they are finally just days away from landing in the Republic!
To get it right, we collaborated with KTM to create the KTM 300 EXC.
But that's not all — we've also partnered with La Bécanerie! The team there has created an incredible skin that won't only be available in-game, but in real life too!
To make it 3 skins, we also have the TR00BLEMAKER, to suit all tastes! It will be available as part of the Year 4 Pass, which includes the Pocketts, and with an exclusive outfit. Or as a standalone purchase for 1,050 RC.
Would you like to try before you buy? We've got you covered, there are plenty of ways to try out the Dirt Bike for free! Mass Race, Live Events and FFA are regular features. On top of that, if you find a Dirt Bike event in the Activity Panel, you'll be able to try it out without buying the Toy!
Pockett Thunder
The Pockett Car has added a fourth skin to its collection! With the same handling as the other cars, this new addition comes with an exclusive skin for 1,050 RC!
Park Creator Improvements
- New objects
The possibilities for creating an event are endless! This season, we have added some objects to help you decorate your events, as well as some crazy new types of objects to help you create the most insane racetracks.
- Speed gates
Until now, the only way to adjust the speed of riders was to use speed blocks. Once the update is released, these will be replaced by the new Speed Gates! Events that already use the blocks will keep them. However, in the editor, only the gates will be available.
- Color
Do you want your objects to blend in with their environments more? You can now adjust the color and other settings to either make your objects blend in more easily or make them stand out completely! But it's not just about colors! Three other settings have been added to customize the appearance of your events! You can adjust the roughness, shine and metallic appearance of objects.
- Multi selection
If reading about colors has made you think about all the time you spent changing the colors of the objects at your previous events, don't worry! We've also added the option to select multiple objects and edit them all at once. You can rotate, change the color and duplicate them all!
- Replay
We know you have been asking for a while to be able to review your run. This is especially useful for those of you who make amazing trick videos! Once you have finished a player-created event, you will be able to watch a replay of it. So you won't miss any angles!
- And more
We've added a few extra features! For example, it's now easier to track the creators you follow.
It also allows you to take a picture of your event at any time once it has been validated. This gives you more freedom when choosing a thumbnail!
We have also added a brand-new section dedicated to showcasing events organized by the Dev Team. You'll find ten Dirt Bike events created by the Dev Team there. One of these is available to everyone, even if you don’t own a Dirt Bike!
Event in the open world
Another exciting feature of the Event Creator is the ability to make them appear directly in the Republic! There will be no need to enter the event; the props from selected events will appear directly in the open world!
We are already running a contest on Discord, inviting creators to submit their events for the chance to be selected. We're testing this feature with two events, one of which is to promote the Showdown arena. The other is a recreation of a Tony Hawk park by Reddit user murtter. You’ll find it right next to Area 52!
If you would like to submit your park for future seasons, join our Discord server!
4th Anniversary
We'll also be celebrating the 4th anniversary of Riders Republic during this season!
This year, we're offering some popular Funkies as weekly rewards! If you've been wanting to get the Foam Bike, the Sunkeeper and many others! This week will start from October 22nd, make sure you don't miss out!
Seasonal Content
There are more events to come this season!
Halloween has returned to the Republic! There will be a themed Ridge, as well as a pumpkin hunt!
Protecting the environment has always been important to us. This year, you'll find dedicated events as part of the Green Game Jam!
And, of course, as with every new season, you'll find new seasonal progressions, outfits in the shop and new weekly activities!
Riders Holidays Calendar
To celebrate the end-of-year festivities, we'll start a calendar on December 1st this year! There will be a new surprise to grab every day! We'll announce the daily surprises via multiple channels to ensure you don't miss out!
Simply connect to Riders Republic once a day to receive your daily present! Once the day is over, so is the reward!
Mass Race XL
You've been asking for more variety in the Mass Race playlists for a while, and we've heard you! It will take us some time to fine-tune the program, but we're testing something new with the Mass Race XL this season!
Previously, the Mass Races featured a leaderboard across three distinct tracks. This time, with the Mass Race XL, we're increasing it to five! Fumbled a race? You have 4 more to get back in the ranks!
The Mass Race XL will run for two weeks during the season. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
And on top of that, the new mass race, Sandstorm Surge, will be available!
As usual, we'll share that week's playlists, as well as those for the weeks ahead. You can find the full calendar below:
Week 1 – October 8 to October 15 – Mass Race XL & Special Dirt Bike
Week 2 – October 15 to October 22 – Classic & Special Pockett
