The first footage of Skate 4 has leaked out showcasing how the game plays as well as some new mechanics. Skate 4 has been one of the most-requested games over the last decade. The Electronic Arts series faded away after Skate 3’s release in 2010, leaving many to wonder if it would ever return. The skating genre as a whole began to become a thing of the past as titles from the Tony Hawk franchise became major failures critically and commercially. Nonetheless, in 2020, Electronic Arts confirmed that Skate 4 was happening, but no details were given as the publisher wanted to announce it as soon as it was certain that the game was going to become a reality.

This is Skate 4 pre-alpha footage. This is in line with what I’ve heard about where the game is at from multiple people. They’re trying to get the feel right, which is probably the most important aspect of a Skate game. https://t.co/AXNV2Agk6z pic.twitter.com/nUINhghxLg
