Electronic Arts Inc. and Full Circle announced that skate.<\/em>, the next chapter of the award-winning skateboarding video game franchise, will launch into Early Access on September 16 for PlayStation\u00ae 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation\u00ae 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and EA app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

skate. <\/em>is free-to-download, cross-platform,* and cross-progression,* making it as accessible as possible for both longtime skate<\/em>. franchise fans, and newcomers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set in the vibrant city of San Vansterdam, skate. <\/em>is a multiplayer skateboarding destination offering a massive open world where players discover unique skate spots, land insane tricks and connect – or compete – with friends online. With four unique neighborhoods – Hedgemont, Gullcrest, Market Mile and Brickswich – each offering its own distinct vibe and challenges, the city is a huge playground for skaters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From parks and plazas to rooftops and massive ramps, every corner is packed with skateable spots, including the House of Rolling Reverence, a former church transformed into a trick haven for skaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the core of skate. <\/em>is the restored and improved Flick-It System, brought back to life through the Frostbite\u2122 Engine to deliver the best skateboarding experience we have ever offered. With unparalleled precision and control, Flick-It brings the magic of the franchise back to life for a new generation of players. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

skate. <\/em>also introduces a variety of new tricks – such as wallies, slappies and firecrackers – offering fresh ways to ride. Skatepedia serves as the ultimate resource for mastering tricks and styles, while ensuring accessibility for new players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cskate.<\/em> is not just a return, it\u2019s a complete evolution of the franchise that\u2019s built to last,” said Mike McCartney, Executive Producer of skate.<\/em> \u201cOur goal with skate. <\/em>is to capture the freedom, creative expression and community of skateboarding, and share it with as many people as possible. From day one, our priority has been to honor the legacy of the franchise while pushing it into a bold new future – one built in partnership with our players.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In skate., <\/em>players can discover new ways to explore and get vertical with new off-board controls, giving them total freedom to roam, climb and find epic new spots. Additional features like Quick Drop allow players to place ramps, rails, benches and more anywhere in the world to fine-tune their perfect spot. skate<\/em>. offers players the ability to find their own fun with endless activities, including rotating world map challenges – such as Line Challenges, Own The Spot and Sessions – as well as high-energy Throwdowns with friends. The new Spectate mode lets players instantly find the action and use Spectaport to jump straight into any live session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaborative development with skate.<\/em> fans and the community have always been a priority throughout our development process. Player feedback has been welcome all throughout playtesting and something Full Circle will continue to look at during the game\u2019s Early Access period. During Early Access, players can expect to see new content every season, offering fresh challenges, cosmetics, music, world updates, and new events each season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCommunity is the heart of skateboarding, and it\u2019s the heart of skate.,<\/em>\u201d said Jeff Seamster, Head of Creative on skate.<\/em> \u201cFrom day one, we\u2019ve aimed to create an open, welcoming space shaped by players. We\u2019ve built this game alongside our community – listening, learning and evolving together. Whether you\u2019re a seasoned skater or just dropped in, skate. <\/em>is a place to express yourself, connect and grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No gatekeepers, no barriers – just a city built for skating and a community that keeps it alive. Early Access is a huge milestone in that journey, and we\u2019re hyped to keep growing San Vansterdam with our crew around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
