Ubisoft has announced that Riders Republic for Nintendo Switch 2 will launch globally on December 9, 2026. On the same day, the offline "Nomad Mode" feature will be rolled out across all platforms.
Nomad Mode allows players to explore the open world, progress their career, complete events, discover landmarks, and customize their rider without an internet connection. Once the device reconnects to the internet, offline progress will automatically sync.
Riders Republic brings together extreme sports such as cycling, skiing, snowboarding, wingsuit flying, and rocket wingsuit flying, set in a multiplayer open world inspired by famous US national parks. Since its release in late October 2021, the game has surpassed 17 million players.
The fifth-anniversary event will offer free-to-play access across all platforms from October 22 to 26, featuring limited-time competitions and exclusive anniversary gear rewards. The game will also include crossover content drawn from Assassin's Creed, Rayman, Just Dance, The Crew Motorfest, For Honor, Skull and Bones, and Brawlhalla, along with an exclusive in-game concert by Belgian DJ Henri PFR.
Details regarding graphics specifications, frame rates, pricing, physical edition availability, and save data transfer for the Nintendo Switch 2 version have not yet been announced. Beyond simply adding a new platform, Nomad Mode will also provide existing players with a core exploration and career experience that does not require a persistent internet connection.
