is the latest in a long line of video games heading to the silver screen. The publisher announced today that a feature film adaptation of 2021's Riders Republic is underway, and it already has a directorial duo seated behind the camera.

In a press release, Ubisoft Film & Television annnounced it's partnering with Gaumont for the adaptation of Riders Republic. Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, the Belgian duo who directed Bad Boys for Life and Bad Boys: Ride or Die, are already signed on to direct.

The script adaptation will be penned by Noé Debré, whose credits include Stillwater and The World Is Yours.

As for a feature film adaptation, it remains to be seen what narrative might be concocted around all the extreme sports action. Hopefully there's at least some sick tricks and crazy stunts, if nothing else.

Video game adaptations are certainly picking up in earnest, though. From box office successes like the
