Electronic Arts' long-awaited Skate revival hit a snag with developer Full Circle's announcement about mandatory online play. The upcoming game will demand constant internet connectivity, crushing hopes of traditional offline gaming. Fans who eagerly anticipated the series' return may feel disappointed by the live service approach.
Full Circle explained that the game represents a dynamic, multiplayer skateboarding world that constantly changes. Players can expect evolving city landscapes and ongoing live events. The studio believes continuous online interaction is crucial to delivering its creative vision.
Over 200000 players have already experienced the game through a closed alpha test running since September 2024. Interested gamers can still apply for future playtests. An early access release is scheduled for later this year, with hopes of potential open beta opportunities.
