Skate reveals new trailer, console playtest and wild SGF intro

The new "skate." game, previously known as Skate 4, made an impact at Summer Game Fest 2024 with a fresh trailer, a console playtest announcement, and a quirky cameo from Tim Robinson. Although a full release window wasn't provided, the game is still in pre-pre-alpha, and the footage may differ from the final product. The latest trailer introduces Robinson as an M-Corp spokesperson addressing some outrageous rumors. Initially announced in 2020, "skate." has been keeping its community engaged through updates and playtests. Officially renamed in 2022, it will be a free-to-play title available on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.

The console playtest for "skate." is scheduled for this fall.

"skate." is a highly anticipated entry in the Skate franchise developed by Full Circle. The series is well-known for its realistic skateboarding mechanics and open-world design. The original Skate game launched in 2007 and quickly gained a dedicated following, setting itself apart from other skateboarding games with its unique control scheme and immersive gameplay. The latest addition aims to enhance these elements while adopting a free-to-play model to attract a broader audience.
