Ea has announced that the third iteration of its popular skateboarding franchise, Skate, will be released in the UK on May 14. This means we can expect the game to release locally at around the same time.
Skate 3 will be released on Xbox 360 and PS3, and will add new ticks, new locations, new characters etc.
Players will also be able to create their own skate parks and share them with friends.
Skate teams are new, and players will be able to recruit riders to join them in taking on rival teams.
“Since the very beginning of the Skate franchise, we have captured the true essence of skateboarding, be it from the feel of nailing that perfect trick, to the feeling of just hanging out and sessioning with your friends,” said Jason DeLong, Senior Producer. “For us, SKATE 3 is the culmination of this endeavor – the most connected, accessible and social skateboarding experience yet,” said EA.
