In the current industry, there are still opportunities for vintage franchises, and some have made a comeback in recent years. Old-school gamers will remember the times when skateboarding was a sensation and how it translated excellently into video games. One of the most recognized IPs is Skate from Electronic Arts, and it currently has a new installment in development that will debut on a previously ignored platform.
skate. will debut on Steam for the first time
According to a post on the official skate. Twitter account, the development team revealed that the new installment of the franchise will be released on Steam. This is noteworthy as its previous titles bypassed the most popular PC platform. Additionally, the developers of this new installment announced that this year, console testing will be conducted to gather feedback from players, confirming that the development process is making significant progress.

However, the best news was that skate. will debut this year. This was hinted at by the developers in response to a question about its debut being in 2025, to which they responded that it is not the case and that the game will be available before that year, meaning in the current year 2024.
While there is excitement for the new Skate installment, there is also uncertainty as it was reported that the game will be free-to-play to attract new audiences and will have loot boxes. Despite the negative reaction from hardcore fans of the franchise, the developers assure that it will not be pay-to-win and that only cosmetic content can be acquired.
