Electronic Arts has confirmed that when the new Skate game launches, it will be the first in the series to include a PC version.
The Skate series first appeared way back in 2007, launching on Xbox 360 and mobile platforms followed a week later by a PS3 version. It received praise for the open environments it used, control scheme, and music, and it certainly offered something different to the wildly popular Tony Hawk’s series. The game received two sequels in 2009 and 2010 on PS3 and Xbox 360, as well as a spin-off title for Wii, Nintendo DS, and iOS called Skate It.
Until now, though, the PC hasn’t received any ports of these games. But as Videogamer spotted, EA has now confirmed the new title in the series will definitely be playable by PC gamers.
The new Skate game was first announced during the June 2020 EA Play event and is being developed by a newly-formed EA studio in Vancouver called Full Circle. Fans of the old games will be happy to hear Deran Chung and Cuz Parry, who created the original game, are working at Full Circle. What isn’t know yet is when we’ll actually be able to play it. Development had already begun last year, but little has been heard since and the pandemic likely played a part in delaying the schedule.
