Skate Heads To Early Access In 2025

Developer Full Circle has announced that Skate will finally launch in Early Access in 2025. The announcement comes as the game gets set for console playtests this fall.

“We’re incredibly stoked to announce that skate. will be launching in Early Access in 2025,” the developers said via social media. “We’ll share more details on what to expect in the coming months.”

If you don’t want to wait to get your hands on Skate, you can sign up for Skate Insider. Members of the Insider program have the opportunity to participate in upcoming playtests.

What Is Skate?

Skate is the reboot of the classic franchise, but with a focus on multiplayer gameplay. The game will be a free-to-play live service game that will feature regular updates weekly, monthly, etc.

“We’re excited to be working on a ton of social features to help you team-up, cooperate, or compete with other players in the city,” Lead social designer Andreia Goncalves said back in June on the multiplayer aspect of the game. “You can play challenges together or make your own fun by combining our quick drop objects and Throwdown modes…”

Before the Early Access announcement, it was revealed that Skate was having its “Flick-It” trick control system rebuilt in order to make gameplay more “fun and satisfying” for players.

“We want to make sure every trick feels fun and satisfying, while delivering the familiarity from past Skate games,” Full Circle said at the time. “On top of that, we’ve improved accuracy and control to make learning tricks easier.”

Never got to play this series but during the PS1 & PS2 era I was very big fan of Tony Hawk games so this is nice to know, Mike.

Interestingly enough I've read somewhere Tony & Activision are "talking" again 🤔

Must be an even cooler experience for you then with more of an understanding of it. Really professes to the fun of the games that there's not a lot of non-football fans who play fifa, or non-basketball fans playing nba games etc. but people with little to no Skateboarding experience seem to love the Skate games as much as avid skaters 🛹
