Skateboarding is back! The skateboard game license makes a big reappearance more than twelve years after Skate 3 to present us with its fourth component: skateboarding. Watch a humorous pre-alpha presentation and find out how to join the game testing program in this article.
[Mis à jour le 01 juillet 2022 à 16h33] Remember, we are in 2009, you go to a friend’s or friend’s house after the swimming pool, turn on their Playstation 3 and launch Skate 2. Hollies and tailslides no longer hold any secrets for you and above all we get a slightly less badly than in real life. If these memories ring a bell, then you’ll be glad to hear that Skate is back. EA’s license offers a fourth component developed by the Canadian studio Full Circle, soberly called “skate.” (we keep Skate 4 here). The game was presented to us with humor quite recently through “pre-pre-pre-alpha” gameplay footage that convinced fans. But that’s not all, EA offers volunteer players the opportunity to join the game’s testing program, in order to be able to support Full Circle in the development of its product. We will explain everything to you.
It is therefore by showing some gameplay images of his game that he skates. talked about him. Full Circle didn’t ask too many questions and didn’t hesitate to humorously share gameplay footage from a raw pre-alpha. Images that have seriously convinced fans and players who have been waiting impatiently for the return of the famous license for 12 years. This cocktail gives us a trailer already viewed no less than 200,000 times in less than 24 hours, proof that the demand for skateboard games is still present. It must be said that this kind of titles marked a whole generation of players, dominating the market for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 releases for several years. It is therefore 12 years after its last installment that the EA franchise is back. And the good news is that gamers can get involved in the game’s development thanks to a new testing program created by Electronic Arts.
Indeed, the American publisher invites you to join the playtest of the game thanks to its “Insider skate” program. This program is described on its official page with the following words: “As an insider skate., you can play early versions of the game and provide feedback throughout the development journey. We will have to expand access to skateboarding. gradually as development progresses to ensure you get the best experience. We therefore cannot guarantee when you will be able to play.“
If you want to join the Insider skate development program. you can go to the next page. You will still need an EA account to sign up.
You will have understood it by reading the few lines above, Skate 4, soberly named skate. is only in the early stages of its development. A development in which EA intends to involve fans and players through its Insider program presented just above. It is therefore difficult to imagine an exact release date for the game at the time of writing these lines. However, we can tell you that the game won’t be released before the end of 2022, and probably not before the second half of 2023. So you’ll have to wait a little longer before going riding in town, and if you can’t really don’t wait, you still have the option of trying to join the Insider skate program. for early access to the alpha and beta versions of the game.
