EA’s Skate is just a few months away from release

EA's Skate games were a staple of the Xbox 360 era. A few years ago, EA announced its return after more than a decade. The game has been in open development since, with frequent playtests being held. Now, the latest version of Skate is just a few months away from hitting the market. 

Skate will soon become available to all. The game is set to have one last massive playtest in July and EA has stated that anyone who registers in time will be accepted to participate. Playtests for Skate have also expanded to consoles now as well, and it will be available on consoles alongside PC at release too.

To get into the final playtest you'll need to register as a Skate Insider before the 27th of June, so there is still plenty of time left at the time of writing.

Skate is an open world multiplayer skating simulator where players can customise their characters and group up at parks and compete in challenges across the map. There will be around 150 players per server, so there will always be plenty of activity around you, helping the game feel more alive.

The final version of Skate will be available ‘in a few months' time' according to EA. the game is expected to be free to play, supported by various cosmetic microtransactions.

KitGuru Says: Are you planning on downloading the latest version of Skate when it becomes available? It looks like it'll be competing head to head with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4, although it is worth noting that the strength of EA's version is in its massively multiplayer element.
