by

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled about EA’s forthcoming free-to-play Skate game, but I wanted to share some important details. According to Full Circle, the developers behind

The studio described the game and city as a dynamic, ever-changing skateboarding environment that serves as a massive online sandbox. It will continuously grow and adapt, with noticeable transformations such as alterations to the city over time, but also smaller adjustments like live events and various in-game activities.

To realize our dream of creating an authentic skateboarding experience, it’s essential that the game is always played with an active internet connection.

In addition, the FAQ clarifies that Skate will be released into early access later this year by Full Circle. They emphasize that this is merely the beginning for Skate, with plans to continually introduce fresh features, enhancements, and additional content post-launch.

Full Circle reassured fans that the preliminary release of Skate will offer a fantastic experience, despite being incomplete. Expect further updates and exciting announcements about the game in the upcoming months.

Despite being in a restricted playtesting phase, the game Skate incorporates microtransactions. According to Full Circle, these additional purchases serve to fund the game’s continuous development and aim to provide a fair and enjoyable experience for players.

Full Circle explains that while it might seem unconventional, they prefer to use actual currency during playtesting as they believe this method offers the most accurate evaluation and fine-tuning of the system prior to its release.

The developers at Full Circle made it clear: should Skate’s debut go well and the game grow as anticipated, no additional gameplay zones will ever be hidden behind a paywall. Instead, any new areas introduced in the gaming universe would be accessible to players without charge.

Furthermore, Full Circle assured players that they won’t restrict access to appealing items by placing them behind a paywall as an encouragement for spending money. Although the specifics of the in-game rewards system, including what can be purchased with real money and earned in-game currency, are yet to be finalized, Full Circle promised there will be attractive items for players to acquire and personalize their characters without the need for actual cash.

In 2020, we first heard about the latest iteration of Skate, with the creators of the original games, Deran Chung and Cuz Parry, rejoining the team. If you’re not a fan of Skate, look forward to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 & 4 arriving this July instead.
