Over a decade after the last installment, a new game is on its way to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. While there’s still no release date, developers have shared multiple updates on the game’s development.
Recently, the team discussed rewards, customization, cosmetics, and brand partnerships. The Skate team shared this new information in the latest installment of its development blog, The Board Room.
Character and art design were major topics in the episode, with Character Art Director Jeff Goslan sharing insights into what the game is going for.
The series has always been somewhat stylized, while skateboarding is a sport known for enabling self-expression. The team wants both aspects to find a place in the new game.
Players will see this in character customization, which will try to strike a balance between style and realism. Developers say Skate will feature extensive customization options, letting players adjust their character’s height and build.
