The original Skate games hold a special place in every skating game fans’ hearts. There are plenty of rumors surrounding Skate 4 that indicate that a sequel may finally be in the works. EA Games has steered clear of offering any information about the upcoming game. But if insider reports are to be believed, a game is definitely in the works. Today we will take a closer look at all of the information available and predict the Skate 4 release date.
Skate 4 Release Date – Coming to Next-Gen Consoles?
Skate 4 is rumored to be a surprise title that will launch with both the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett. It is unknown when both the respective consoles will launch, but experts have speculated a holiday 2020 timeline for availability. However, both the consoles should be announced long before the official release dates. We can expect the Skate 4 release date to coincide with the console launches accordingly.
A lot of players might question the legitimacy of the existence of Skate 4 in the first place. Here are some of the factors that make us believe that a new Skate game is actually being created by the developers. Earlier this year in June, the original Skate 3 servers came to life out of nowhere. While many may indicate that EA did this to signal the launch of EA Play. But why would they bring an old game back to life if they did not want to support the franchise?
What We Know About Skate 4 From Official Sources
Moreover, the original Skate games sold exceptionally well, and there is absolutely no reason to indicate that a new title would not do well. People are driven by nostalgia, which is why games like Resident Evil 2 are still successful even after being remade decades after their release. We can get behind the fact that Skate 3 didn’t sell as well as EA would have hoped, but it does not signal the end of the world.
If we track official sources for information, we can check out an interview by the then EA Chief, who revealed skateboarding games are still in vogue. While they may have evolved into a broader genre, fans of skateboarding games continue to be loyal. What wouldn’t we give for a great new Tony Hawk game, aren’t we right?
EA Sports have been in radio silence mode for months, but things may change in the upcoming months. While some officials have said that the genre might be coming to an end, a community management exec from EA tweeted out with the hashtag Skate 4, indicating that something good might be coming our way after all. There was no explanation whatsoever, and EA has stayed cryptic about the whole thing since then. We can only hope that all the signs are pointing towards an imminent announcement sometime in 2020, which would be a massive treat for the fans.
What do you think about the rumors surrounding the Skate 4 release date? Will it really come out this year, or is it all rumors and stories? For more coverage on Skate 4, stay tuned to Gamer Suffice.
