Cuz Parry and Deran Chung appeared at EA Play on Thursday to announce that a new Skate game is in the early stages of development. Rumors of this announcement had been circulating for months, but no one expected it to be confirmed so quickly, much to the delight of fans of the series.
The last game in the series, Skate 3, was released in 2010. Since then, the franchise has been dormant, especially after the closure of EA's Black Box team in April 2013, which apparently did not please fans of the series. Even today, we can find live streams on Twitch of users trying their luck on the Skate 3 tracks.
Skate remained a beloved, cult franchise and its fans had been asking EA for a new Skate game for years, but the company had maintained the same silent stance all this time, until today.
Skate series producer Chris “Cuz” Perry appeared in a video today during EA Play to announce that the studio is working on a new Skate game. We don’t yet know if it’s Skate 4 or a new skating game.
Parry joked, “We can’t believe you guys really went through all the feedback to make this project a reality,” referring to the social media campaign that ultimately led EA to develop a new skating game.
It is a fact that games of this type have become popular in recent years and there are certainly many who are nostalgic to relive their childhood and teenage years through a brand new skating game. It is worth mentioning the impact that Tony Hawk.
With the arrival of the PlayStation 5, the timing seems perfect for another skating game. So let's see what the future holds.
