Ubisoft Film Television has teamed up with French studio Gaumont to work on a film project that promises to be a dynamic action film with continuous stunts, humour and spectacular scenes on the snowy slopes of the Alps. The screenplay is written by Noé Debray, the author of the films Quiet Lake and The World Belongs to You.
Riders Republic, released in 2021, combines elements of extreme sports and the open world, offering players to compete on skis, snowboards, bicycles and even in wing suits. The game has attracted more than 10 million players worldwide.
