Hey, Riders! The wait is finally over. Season 16 has officially dropped in the Republic, and it’s bringing one of the most requested features since the game’s launch: Dirt Bikes!
Launching on October 8th, Season 16 isn’t just about a new ride; it’s packed with game-changing improvements to the Park Creator, a massive new Mass Race format, and a host of seasonal fun. So buckle up, because here’s everything you need to know about the newest wave of content!
?? The Dirt Bike: Long-Awaited Thrills
The undisputed headliner of Season 16 is the arrival of the Dirt Bike. This new extreme sport promises to change the way you tackle the Republic’s rugged terrain.
- New Toy: The Dirt Bike is available as part of the Year 4 Pass (which includes the new Pocketts) or as a standalone purchase.
- Real-World Partnering: Get ready to ride a virtual KTM 300 EXC, thanks to a collaboration with KTM, complete with a special skin from La Bécanerie.
- Try Before You Buy: Don’t have the Dirt Bike yet? You can still jump into the action! They will be featured in Mass Races, Live Events, FFA, and in dedicated Dirt Bike events found on the Activity Panel.
?? Park Creator Gets a Massive Upgrade
For the community’s master builders, the Park Creator has received a revolutionary set of tools that offer unprecedented freedom and customisation. Your player-created events are about to get a major visual and mechanical boost!
Top New Park Creator Features:
- Colour, Shine, and Texture: You can now colour your objects and adjust other settings like roughness, shine, and metallic appearance. Make your ramps pop with vibrant colours or blend them seamlessly into the environment—the choice is yours!
- Multi-Selection Tool: Creating a beautiful course just got way less tedious. You can now select multiple objects to rotate, duplicate, and change the colour of all at once.
- Introducing Speed Gates: The old speed blocks are being retired for the new Speed Gates, which will be the sole option available in the editor for adjusting a rider’s speed.
- Event Replays: Finally! After completing a player-created event, you can watch a full replay of your run, perfect for capturing those epic trick lines.
- Events in the Open World: Player-created events can now be set to appear directly in the Republic for all to enjoy!
? Mass Race XL: Go Big or Go Home
Looking for a more epic, multi-stage challenge? Get ready for the Mass Race XL format.
In a move to increase the variety and challenge of Mass Races, the new XL format is stretching the race from three distinct tracks to five tracks in a single event. If you fumble one track, you’ll have four more chances to claw your way up the ranks!
? Seasonal Treats and Rewards
Of course, no new season would be complete without fresh seasonal content and a new progression path.
- Halloween Event: Get into the spooky spirit! The Republic is hosting a Halloween event, complete with a themed Riders Ridge and a fun pumpkin hunt in the open world.
- Green Game Jam: Look out for dedicated events promoting environmental protection as part of the Green Game Jam initiative.
- New Cosmetics: Expect the usual flow of fresh seasonal progressions, new outfits in the shop, and a rotation of popular Funkies as weekly rewards.
? Jump In For Free!
If you’ve been on the fence about joining the Republic, now is the perfect time!
