EA's Skate Revival Sees Early Access Debut in September

More than three years have passed since EA first amazed fans with initial footage of their anticipated Skate revival. At last, they announced that this free-to-play, live service game will be accessible to all through early access beginning September 16th.

The adventure unfolds in the vibrant metropolis of 'San Vansterdam,' where players can execute impressive tricks, accept various challenges, or simply enjoy downtime with friends. The game revisits the 'Flick-It' control scheme, familiar to loyal fans of the prior Skate games, making it easy for seasoned players to transition seamlessly into this new iteration.

A noteworthy aspect of this version of Skate is its rich social component. Players can dynamically place ramps and rails into the game environment, allowing for interactive experiences with up to 150 skaters per server.

Custom Skaters and Cosmetic Options

Gamers will have the option to enhance their custom skaters with purchasable in-game cosmetics. These items, purely aesthetic, do not impact gameplay. Aligning with other free-to-play experiences, Skate offers seasonal events and a battle pass system that provides both complimentary and premium rewards.

Platform Availability and Future Development

The upcoming Skate release will be compatible with PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC, with additional support for both crossplay and cross-progression, ensuring a unified experience across platforms. Furthermore, a mobile version for both iOS and Android is in the pipeline, expanding access to the new features of Skate.
