skate. Gameplay and Trailer
Mike McCartney, the Executive Producer of skate. has said that "their goal with the game is to capture the freedom, creative expression and community of skateboarding, and share it with as many people as possible."
You'll be skating and grinding across all available surfaces in San Vansterdam, but you'll also get to roam off-board too. Quick Drop will allow you to create the perfect skating spot on your own by placing ramps, rails, benches whenever and wherever you want. If you can't find the right angle, you can make it!
Apart from free roam and being creative on the fly, you'll also be able to participate in various challenges across town, showing off your skills to anyone around. If you don't know where the action is, the new Spectate Mode will find it for you, while Spectaport will drop you right into the middle of a live session.
Each new season of Skate will bring with it fresh content, challenges, cosmetics, updates to the world, as well as various new events. You can look forward to never getting bored in San Van as you learn the secrets and best skating places of the city.
