For years, Skate fans would invade the comment sections of every social media post by EA and spam “Skate 4” over and over again. This lasted until a new Skate game was officially announced by EA in 2020. Since then, there hasn’t been too much information released about the game until this week when EA CEO Andrew Wilson said that it may be coming out soon.
Gamers May Be Playing Skate 4 Sooner Than They Think
During an earnings call this week, Wilson spoke about the importance of User-Generated Content, saying:
“The ability to create your own content and put it into that ecosystem has become a really valuable part of what our industry offers to our players and our fans. The traditional media just doesn’t. And this is something that we hold true. Again, it’s been at the very center of The Sims for a long time. It’s at the very center of modes like FIFA Ultimate, even Madden Ultimate Team, to the very center of the design of Skate, which we’ll be launching soon.”
Fans of Skate 3 will remember how that game allows players to upload their own skate parks so other players can download them. This feature played an important role in Skate 3, and it appears that that will continue into the upcoming untitled Skate sequel. Wilson went on to say that this feature will play an important role in EA’s future.
It has been almost two years since this game was announced, so it makes sense that we are fast approaching an official release date.
