EA’s Skate Early Access Launches September 16 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox

This morning, EA and Full Circle announced the Early Access release date for Skate as September 16 on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.

Skate will be free to download, cross-platform, and cross-progressive, as the team at Full Circle looks to make this new entry in the series, and the long-awaited fourth game, the most community-based one ever. This time, the game is set in San Vansterdam and features a “massive open world where players discover unique skate spots,” and of course, look to compete with friends, or hone their skills on landing the sickest tricks in locations wherever they choose to make their own.

The game is brought to life with the ‘flick-it system,’ which was first introduced in the original game and has been what many fans have been clamouring for in skating games ever since. You’ll also be able to quick-drop into ramps and more into places you want to build the ultimate skating experience, wherever you want.

“skate. is not just a return, it’s a complete evolution of the franchise that’s built to last,” said Mike McCartney, Executive Producer of skate. “Our goal with skate. is to capture the freedom, creative expression and community of skateboarding, and share it with as many people as possible. From day one, our priority has been to honour the legacy of the franchise while pushing it into a bold new future – one built in partnership with our players.”
