After all these years, the Skate franchise might be getting a revival.
A report by Try Hard Guides claims that Skate 4 might get an announcement next month. More to the point, a gameplay teaser of some sort. EA doesn’t have any kind of showcase scheduled that we know of yet, so take this with a grain of salt. As you always should with games industry rumors!
However, we know that another Skate is in development at Full Circle. EA created that studio in January 2021 to revive the franchise on Modern platforms. Beyond that, nothing official is available to the public.

Earlier this year, alpha footage of Stake 4 leaked online. It’s pretty rough, but work-in-progress builds often look not-great. However, the large environments with loads of traversal options show that Full Circle isn’t releasing a by-the-numbers sequel.
It’s not easy being a fan of skateboarding games. Aside from the superb Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 remaster, there’s not much out there lately, and even that had its sequel canceled. Hopefully, Skate 4 ends up being precisely what enthusiasts want whenever it’s actually shown off.
