EA has announced that the iconic Skate series is returning. Early access for the new installment will start on September 16, 2025 on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The game will be free to play.
The project is being developed by Full Circle, a studio created specifically for the new Skate. The trailer, released alongside the release date, shows the fictional city of San Van Amsterdam and combinations of tricks with ridiculous falls, reminiscent of the series' characteristic physics.
The Skate series is known for its realistic physics and unique controls that allow you to perform tricks using analog sticks (flick it), which simulates real skateboarding. Players appreciate the open urban spaces, freedom of action, the possibility of improvisation and comedic moments of falling. These are the elements that have made the franchise a cult.
Skate's early access includes crossplay and cross-progression support, and the new installment retains the series' key mechanics, already rebuilt on the Frostbite engine.
