The EA Play stream itself seemed to dance around calling it Skate 4, which led some to believe that Skate being back might just mean a remastered trilogy. Thanks to a tweet from the developers, we know for sure that Skate 4 will be the first entry in the series on PC. Parry and Chung also highlighted Laura Miele, recently appointed as EA’s Chief of Worldwide Studios, as being a key figure in championing the need for Skate 4 at the upper echelons and ultimately getting the ball, or board, moving. He seemed very excited about the project during the EA Play stream as well, which bodes well. He was credited by many as being a driving force behind the authenticity of the game, so he’s a safe pair of hands for whatever comes next. Parry especially became the face of the franchise, with his infectious enthusiasm making him a popular figure among players. The studio is being headed up by former Xbox Live general manager Daniel McCulloch with creative leadership by Deran Chun and Chris "Cuz" Parry, both of who were part of Black Box, an EA subsidiary and the studio behind the original Skate games that was shut down in 2013. The Canadian studio is hiring up for lots of roles, so we presume that development is still relatively early on. Who's developing Skate?Ī few months after announcing a new Skate, EA revealed it formed new studio Full Circle to handle development on the next Skate game. No specifics yet about the mechanics for the collabozones, of course, but the devs described a recent playtest where a player threw together a "huge mega ramp" in a collabozone, attracting their fellow testers to hurl themselves down-and build off of-the monolithic impromptu incline. Skate's multiplayer will have cooperative park-buildingįull Circle hasn't fully detailed what Skate's multiplayer will look like, aside from a passing mention during this dev video that it'll be "massive multiplayer." The one thing we do know about this MMO-style Skate experience is that it'll apparently feature "collabozones"-areas in the Skate's city of San Vansterdam where players can collaboratively build out a skate-park with each other in real time. Sort of like Skate's version of a private match that you can initiate on the fly.
