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.”
