It’s from a reliable source! We’ve all been waiting for the next installment in the Skate video game series. After Skate 1, Skate 2 and Skate 3, the new Skate 4 has officially been unveiled under the simple name Skate! (answers to the questions and official videos further down in the article)
It’s official: the new Skate is coming soon to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC. They also want to make a mobile version.
Release date?
We don't know exactly when the game will be released, but one thing is certain: the team is actively working on it and regularly sharing development updates. That's very, very good news.
Our personal guess is that the game will launch around the Paris Olympics in summer 2024, perhaps even in time for Christmas presents (November or December 2024—what’s your bet?)… Once skateboarding is in the public spotlight, it’ll be easy to ride the hype 😉
Development
To show their commitment to getting things right, they're also letting you test the game early and help with its development! Yes, really! It's called the programme Insider skate and we'll link you HERE if you’d like to sign up, it’s free!
Finally, the development team wants a fresh game: a new version rather than a sequel. The developers are building on a new foundation for a skate game, an evolving experience with a map that will change over the coming years.
The icing on the cake is that the developers want to make this game a real experience rooted in the skateboarding world. It's a game that will appeal to skaters, gamers and the general public alike.
This game will just be the best skate game of all time.
The main new features:
- Magnificent graphics
- The character can climb anywhere and explore… A bit like GTA
- Lots of new tricks, tricks on the coping and incredible style
- The ability to control the speed of tricks (for example, a flip that rotates quickly or slowly)
- The map is huge and feels like a real place
- The city is called San Vansterdam and will evolve over time
- A story mode / Multiplayer mode / Creation mode
