Skatefans have not been graced with a new game in over a decade, withSkate 3releasing way back in 2010. EA first announced a newSkategame back in 2020, however, fans did not have too much to get excited about as information relating to the sequel has been scarce at best.
EA CEO, Andrew Wilson recently stated in an earnings call with shareholders that theSkatesequel (unofficially referred to asSkate 4by fans) will be launching soon, but did not provide a specific date or time frame for the title. This took many fans by surprise considering that EA has shown no formal gameplay of the title as yet. Wilson also noted that the newSkateentry will strongly rely on user-generated content similar to the way in whichThe SimsandFIFAandMadden’s Ultimate Team modes do.

The last time fans received anynew information about the fourth entry in theSkateseries was in mid-2021. EA uploaded a teaser video to YouTube that gave a behind-the-scenes look at the game back then, and even the people depicted in the video made self-aware jokes regarding the lack of information about the game. This video was posted only six months ago, which makes one wonder how far alongSkate 4really is.
Even though there is little information about the new gameSkatefans still seem to be exceptionally excited about it. After the release ofSkate 3,EA expressed no interest in creating a newSkategame, although this did not stop fans from asking for one. But after years of fan demand, EA finally caved in and announced the newSkateproject.
Another aspect of the new game that should get many fans excited is the fact thatSkate 4game has been confirmed for PC. This will be a first for the series as no otherSkategame has released on PC thus far. This will be huge for theSkatecommunity as it will allow users to create mods for the game, which will be a welcome inclusion to theSkatefranchise.
EA also announced back in January last year thatSkate 4would be developed by Full Circle. This will certainly be interesting as the studio is brand new and will be led by former head of Xbox Live Daniel McCulloch.
