"It's been a long five years, but the fourth game in the skate series is on the verge of being released to a wider audience. Electronic Arts announced that Early Access for the game is coming Sept. 16, and players will get to explore the four areas of San Vansterdam in a game that has been rebuilt for this era of gaming."
"Players will have to master the game's main gameplay draw the Flick-it System. Full Circle said the team rebuilt it from the ground up in the Frostbite engine. It's the bigger differentiator between skate and the other major skateboarding franchise, Tony Hawk. Whereas Activision's game relies on button presses to do tricks, skate requires players to use the right the thumbstick to perform a multitude of moves, creating a more granular and more realistic experience."
"The team at Full Circle is introducing seasons, with the first one focusing on the 90s. Each season will have a theme with new content such as additional tricks and features like party voice chat. As for the progression of the game, it sounds as though skate will follow the path of previous games, in which players go around the city and tackle challenges and through that they unlock more neighborhoods and areas to skate."
Skate 4 enters Early Access on Sept. 16 as a free-to-play reboot set across four San Vansterdam areas rebuilt in the Frostbite engine. The game adopts live-service seasons, with the first season themed around the 1990s and new content such as additional tricks and party voice chat. A premium skate.Pass offers extra items and perks while a free track allows broad access. Progression mirrors previous entries through city challenges that unlock neighborhoods. The Flick-it System is the core mechanic, using right-thumbstick inputs for granular, realistic trick execution. Releases target PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and EA app.
