It’s been over 10 years since we got the last game in the hit Skate series, and ever since, fans of the series have been asking when EA will finally return to this unique take on the skateboarding genre.

An earnings call at EA, in which Andrew Wilson stated that the game “will launch soon,” was later followed up by leaker Tom Henderson claiming that the game was already in playtesting, which could bode well for a 2022
