Skate 4 will be “launching soon” with user content “at the very centre”

It’s been a couple of years since the announcement of Skate 4 – or whatever the latest game in EA’s skateboarding franchise will be called – and now the publisher has stated that user-made content will be “at the very centre” of the new Skate’s design, along with confirmation that it will be “launching soon”.

Other than confirmation that Skate 2022 – which is just currently called “Skate” – is in development, the last news about the reboot came in August 2021. The game was confirmed for a PC release, which was good, but was still apparently “in the early stages of development” – suggesting it was a long way off.

Well, it may not be as long a ways off as we expected, as in EA’s recent earnings call (thanks, TweakTown) CEO Andrew Wilson suggested that Skate 4 would be out “soon” – so it should release sometime this year. Wilson also states that user-made content will be the “centre” of the Skate reboot’s design.
