@@Maenso1 This is what Zwift wishes it could be. Someone hooked up their smart trainer to ride in GTA5 with minimal effort, so ZWIFT is running the extra steps.
A cycling game with what appears to be a vast array of customizations for your bicycle is an instant and emphatic yes from me. I find both the color palette and the art style appealing. Definitely going to play this one.
If only they drop a way to hear that song. Im learning of this game bc of it. Better optimize interest. Thats a certified banger!!!! Now lets research this game. Hope mechanics n physics good.....that song....
@@3runjosh I already do, bike is my main mode of transportation. This would be nice for winter, when I don't feel like biking out in 10 degree weather.
@Smartieboi Of course, but being "just" the publisher also means that if they went out for good some of the games they were signed with would not come out at all.
The lead and 25 other core members left, I would take notes if they decided to start their own studio. This studio is definitely going down blizzard's path.
well…the NAME exists. and all of the existing contracts with devs are being enforced even though the entire team at anna-purna has walked out, which were the people working with the devs in the first place. So definitely not still around to the extent you think. But the name certainly exists and is still beholden to its contracts, even if its headed by a single woman who seemingly blew up her entire company over a petty power debate
@@AnnapurnaInteractive I mean, I agree the name change is good, because in this gameplay the ghost seems like nothing more than a decoration, it just looks like a bike racing game with checkpoints tbh
A ghost bike is the name for a memorial where a cyclist has died, usually as a result of an accident, and someone puts a bicycle there painted white as a reminder of their presence and the need to do better to keep people on bikes safe.
I love bikes and have often wondered if bikes maybe just don't translate well into video games. Hard to tell how the riding will feel (it looks good though), but the world/social part around it works well for me! Excited!
imagine a bicycle home trainer as accessorie to connect :D
That's just Zwift with extra steps :v

@@the_joe_reynolds_foundation Lots of people hooked up trainer to GTA5, its really easy and you should try it!
@@the_joe_reynolds_foundation yeah, I'd play this instead of zwift any day
its jet set radio future except with bikes
From the creators of the Nidhogg series. This'll be a good one.
real ones remember them from Flywrench
AND OUTER WILDS
That’s the publisher.
@@dw-yl3ln oh my bad
There better be a worm that eats you after every race.
this game reminds me of Sable in a way :
- same feel with the artstyle
- ride your bike
- find parts, customize
- explore
That was my immediate thought as well.
same thought, which means i need this game immediately
hahaha, tho i am actually surprised to see that it wasn't made by the same developer
The artstyle used by this and Sable seems to be heavily inspired by ligne claire, the style of drawing used by Hergé and Moebius.
SableSable World
Finally a game made for cycling enthusiasts that includes social aspects, customizing your bike, and with a cool art style! Day one buy for me
its jet set radio future except with bikes
There's also Riders Republic.
Here's some social aspects you're used to.
🖕
@@BuckingHorse-Bull so its jet set radio future for gay nerds
0:40 hol up
👁👄👁
😂😂😂
Are you referring to the human frame or the hotdog one?
its jet set radio future except with bikes
@@BuckingHorse-Bull no, that would be bomb rush cyberfunk
Awesome, the first bike-strand game. consider me hooked
changeable bike parts is where i was hooked! THIS LOOKS EPIC!
its jet set radio future except with bikes
Annapurna's choices in the games it supports are always so unique.
Not anymore after everyone quit
@@AndrewTheMexican Aw man, really? Does this mean I can't trust them anymore?
A cycling game with what appears to be a vast array of customizations for your bicycle is an instant and emphatic yes from me. I find both the color palette and the art style appealing.
Definitely going to play this one.
Oh this looks dope! Hope the soundtrack is fire too
Okay I am definetly getting this game, I've been wanting a customizable bike centred game for so long, and the art style is amazing.
Getting some olli olli world vibes with the art. I would try this
My first thought, olli olli world lookin ass game. Looks cool tho!
also seems to be a similar level of customization! one of my fave parts of olliolliworld
I have been begging for a game like this to exist since I got into building bikes I’m so excited
You guys nailed the art style
My inner child is already humming the bike theme from Wii Sports Resort, i'm ready for this!
The song alone got me!
If only they drop a way to hear that song. Im learning of this game bc of it. Better optimize interest. Thats a certified banger!!!! Now lets research this game. Hope mechanics n physics good.....that song....
I thought I was looking in the wrong place, but that's an unreleased banger.
We need the song now!
I can't find it anywhere. No one has it. It's only here. Listened to about 100 times
That flash at the end. I'm concerned! X)
thanks UA-cam for recommending this. This looks awesome! Love biking irl and I will love biking ingame
wow I wasn't expecting to be that impressed with this, but now I can't wait to play
Love the art style and soundtrack seems dope. You have my attention.
🎵 Ooh baby, baby it's a Wheel World 🎵
Game looks SUPERB! Getting Forza Horizon meets a bank holiday biking vibe and I am 100% here for it.
It looks almost sickeningly whimsical. And I love it.
YEAH BOY! Please release very early 2025 so I can play in the winter when I can't ride for real!
All that's going to do is make you wish you were out riding.
The artstyle is so pretty! Cannot wait to play it - when it's ready ofc!
in about 30 minutes, off to bike on my gravel bike (day 3) at -14C , full studded tires , not fat tires , liking the challenge and learning process.
Riders republic with HiFi Rush artstyle. Nice💯
Looks very cool! I'm a bike guy so I'll have to play this one!
This is the catchiest song I've ever heard in my whole entire life
see indie rock on last fm, 2004-2014 best age of indie
how, this isn't catchy at all to me
@@danielcluistra4484 it's ok you will grow up and develop taste one day
@@thedirty_bird wow rude
@@danielcluistra4484 not rude at all my fren, you asked How i answered How
looking stunning, looking forward to play this game
This needs to be able to be controlled by a stationary bike like the GTA V mod. That would be sick!
or you could just go bike riding in real life for potentially less money than the game will cost.
@@3runjosh I already do, bike is my main mode of transportation. This would be nice for winter, when I don't feel like biking out in 10 degree weather.
Looks baller I'm really curious. If I can get into that flow state and there's some random spiritual stuff happening I'm gonna be hooked!!
Wasn’t this called ghost bike before? Been waiting for this
Whoa y'all are alive!!!
Tbf annapurna just a publisher not the dev of any of the games They put out
@Smartieboi Of course, but being "just" the publisher also means that if they went out for good some of the games they were signed with would not come out at all.
is it alive if a completely new team is running it? annapurna of theseus
@@SteekStyso basically every company ever?
I want this on Mac!
Wait Annapurna still exists? I thought it closed? If not I'm very glad
They had their team leave but the company that heads them up is filling the positions with other employees from what I understand
The lead and 25 other core members left, I would take notes if they decided to start their own studio. This studio is definitely going down blizzard's path.

In name ONLY.
Looks very chill, even the racing. I'm looking forward to seeing how it reviews.
I wonder what prompted the change from Ghostbike to Wheel World
Check out the team's blog post on the Steam page!
@@AnnapurnaInteractive Alright then, keep your secrets
@@AnnapurnaInteractive I mean, I agree the name change is good, because in this gameplay the ghost seems like nothing more than a decoration, it just looks like a bike racing game with checkpoints tbh
I mean, I'm sure the developer walkout of the entirity of Annapurna's original lineup had something to do with it.
A ghost bike is the name for a memorial where a cyclist has died, usually as a result of an accident, and someone puts a bicycle there painted white as a reminder of their presence and the need to do better to keep people on bikes safe.
this feels like the last vestiges of the old annapurna interactive - hopefully all the devs landed on their feet
Looks great! Can't wait to play it!
The game looks cute, but damn that song is killer. I want it!
Looks chill, we needs some atmospheric jungle on the soundtrack 😊🎉❤
omg title song already sold me this game ahaha
I love bikes and have often wondered if bikes maybe just don't translate well into video games. Hard to tell how the riding will feel (it looks good though), but the world/social part around it works well for me! Excited!
This looks incredible!
Beautiful!
why did I expect there to be road rash elements in this?
oof😂😂
looks good tho
Now THIS is a video game.
Game looks excellent, just subscribed to your YT channel 🎮💯
This game looks wheely good!
Wheely pun
love the art style and vibe!! Its like a fun and relaxing anime
Looks great!!!
I'm glad companies are starting to realize that when you make games that are directly catered towards my taste, good things can happen : )
The trailer reminded me of my own bicycle I guess its still in runnable condition
This looks like fun, ill keep my eye on it.
I wish something like this could be played on a Pelaton in VR
Like the GTA V bike mod
@@dmslidecancel 👀👀👀
Good news, VZfit and Holofit exist!
art style alone has me sold lol
Looks fun!
Looks great!
such cute graphics
This looks and sounds awesome ❤
This would be amazing to sync with an indoor cycle trainer or peloton.
looks great!
Looks great day one buy for sure!
This has a Scavenger's Reign vibe to it, looks great
just me, my bike and my eldritch companion
so cool!
this would be good for the ps5. imagine to works the pedals you must continously press L2 and R2 while there is haptic feedbacks
ive watched this 100x just for the song
Love the art style!
Looks amazing
The song and the video are a vibe
a game that feels fun to play! hard to see one these days
😎😎😎😎👌👌👌
Now connect this to a stationary bike & we got something😂😂
You had me at the cel shading 😍
time trial mode and this is a banger
Annapurna Interactive is like a Polyvinyl Records of gaming
God I love this artstyle, I'm looking forward to this :p
Looks cool! I try to find a game like tour de france glad i find this game, hope i can customized character too change his clothes..
That looks great.
I guess you could say I'm WHEELIE excited! 💀

The song is By Joon - i want it all ........Not out yet maybe wen the game comes out the song will drop to
Looks super unique.

Dungeons of Hinterberg with a bicycle!
God yes, looks like a certified banger
imagine connecting this game to your tacx (home trainer)
wow, big Dungeons of Hinterburg vibes- wonder why they changed it from ghost bike?

Love the look of this
This is a fixie game dream, hope to come for some nintendo console in future
