The game is set to launch in early access in 2025 and will be available as a free-to-play title. Unlike its predecessors, “skate.” will feature a microtransaction-driven live-service model, allowing players to purchase in-game items and enhancements. The game is set in the fictional city of San Vansterdam, offering a massively multiplayer environment with various solo skate challenges, multiplayer public events, and private match-style throwdowns. “skate.” aims to build on the franchise’s legacy by introducing new gameplay mechanics and features. The game will include an improved flick-based trick control scheme, enhancing accuracy and control for players. Additionally, it will offer a variety of new tricks, such as slappies and boned ollies, and customizable elements like socks. The development team has been conducting internal playtests since 2022, with feedback helping to shape the game’s evolution. The game will support cross-play across PC and consoles, and a mobile version is also in development.","datePublished":"2024-09-18T19:56:02Z","headline":"Rebooted Fan-Favorite Skating

the return of the popular Skate franchise after a significant hiatus. The game is set to launch in early access in 2025 and will be available as a free-to-play title. Unlike its predecessors, “skate.” will feature a microtransaction-driven live-service model, allowing players to purchase in-game items and enhancements. The game is set in the fictional city of San Vansterdam, offering a massively multiplayer environment with various solo skate challenges, multiplayer public events, and private match-style throwdowns.<br /> <br /> “skate.” aims to build on the franchise’s legacy by introducing new gameplay mechanics and features. The game will include an improved flick-based trick control scheme, enhancing accuracy and control for players. Additionally, it will offer a variety of new tricks, such as slappies and boned ollies, and customizable elements like socks. The development team has been conducting internal playtests since 2022, with feedback helping to shape the game’s evolution. The game will support cross-play across PC and consoles, and a mobile version is also in development.<br /> <br /> Image Credit: EA Games</div><div class='tpt__aSecCont'><div class='tpt__aSec'> <div class='tpt__aSecHeading'>Trend Themes</div> <div class='tpt__aSecItems'><div class='tpt__aItem'> <div class='tpt__aItemText'><b class='tpt__aItemTitle'>1.

Electronic Arts (EA), marks the return of the popular Skate franchise after a significant hiatus. The game is set to launch in early access in 2025 and will be available as a free-to-play title. Unlike its predecessors, \u201cskate.\u201d will feature a microtransaction-driven live-service model, allowing players to purchase in-game items and enhancements. The game is set in the fictional city of San Vansterdam, offering a massively multiplayer environment with various solo skate challenges, multiplayer public events, and private match-style throwdowns.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n\u201cskate.\u201d aims to build on the franchise\u2019s legacy by introducing new gameplay mechanics and features. The game will include an improved flick-based trick control scheme, enhancing accuracy and control for players. Additionally, it will offer a variety of new tricks, such as slappies and boned ollies, and customizable elements like socks. The development team has been conducting internal playtests since 2022, with feedback helping to shape the game\u2019s evolution. The game will support cross-play across PC and consoles, and a mobile version is also in development.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nImage Credit: EA Games<\/div><div class='tpt__aSecCont'><div class='tpt__aSec'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aSecHeading'>Trend Themes<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aSecItems'><div class='tpt__aItem'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aItemText'><b class='tpt__aItemTitle'>1.
