skate. Preview
skate. is an upcoming skateboarding game from EA. Thanks to their early access and Hands On Meeting, we got a chance to learn more about game and actually experience this upcoming game. Once again we thank developers for that and it’s time to share some opinions and facts about the game. Be warned that the game is still in development so everything can be changed in the final version of the game.
skate. Offering Enjoyable Skateboarding Experience
skate. is offering realistic skateboarding experience for you. With cartoon-ish graphics, the world of skate. looks lively and colorful. This is a living world and you can skate in it. At the start of the game, you can customize your character, there are some few options to choose from. Once you complete few missions, you can unlock more outfits for your characters and even customize your skateboard.
There are few acrobatic moves you can do during your gameplay and missions requests you to do them as well. Some of them hard to achieve but once you get used to controls, you can do them easily. Until that time, you will probably fall a lot and witness some hilarious moments. You can also get hit by car while skateboarding but fortunatelly, you don’t have health bar so you can fall whenever you want until learning all movements.
When you complete missions, your Neigbourhood level increases, this gives you reputation and rewards each time you level up. In full version, I assume there will be lots of rewards we can get, it’s limited in the early access version.
skate. also features some good musics and will feature more in the final version. It will feature 100 soundtracks at launch, and players will also be able to favorite their songs and playlists.
Because you are in common world with other players and it’s onine game. You can actually see other players while skateboarding. Because we are in early access, I only saw one player skateboarding the same time with me. It would be more enjoyable once the game makes it’s launch for all players. We can see more players with us.
What I can Recommend to Developers After My Experience
I played skate. few hours and had great time experiencing it. I would recommend to add more acrobatic movements and more free place for us to make these movements without interupting from anything. The real issue is that skateboarding in city feels decent but you can crash into anything any time. If we had a empty place with some obstacles we can jump onto and try our movements, this would be better and photo mode is necessary for that game. We could take such a cool screenshots, even developers can arrange contest for players and give some rewards to their players.
Also it would better to have larger city. the current skate. world kinda small considering we can move faster while skateboarding. But developers can expand that city with upcoming updates as well.
Developers Promising More
Future skate. seasons will introduce new events, cosmetics, features, and even changes to the game’s world. Limited time content will be unlockable via a battle pass system called Skate Pass, which will have both free and paid tiers. Full Circle plans each season to be around three months long, so that it can hold four per year on average. The first season will start shortly after skate. launches in early access at the end of summer. More information on this front is promised to arrive as part of The Grind: Vol. 6 in September 2025.
