Future skateboard games to count on

Game news Future skateboard games to count on

The ramp

Let’s start with The Ramp! The promising minimalist independent production, directed by Paul Schnepf, will hit Steam on August 3rd. It invites you to discover four colorful playgrounds dedicated to green skateboarding (skateboarding on a ramp or in swimming pools). No fuss or unnecessary frills here. Defined as a “digital toy” by its developer, the skate game has chosen to go down to the basics by highlighting the beauty of the show. In other words, no points, missions or even characters to unlock in the program, just pure and hard skateboarding.

OlliOlli world

After two successful episodes, the OlliOlli saga returns from the independent studio roll7 with a third work called OlliOlli World. The latter breaks with 2D and the usual artistic orientation of the first chapters and takes you to the countries of Radland. A whole new environment with a cartoon design and where 3D exists. From now on, our budding skater can play with the depth of the terrain to string together spectacular and extended combos. As a reminder, even if the title is more accessible than in the past, let’s imagine again that the level of difficulty will increase as the game progresses.

Session: Skateboard Sim Game

Session: Skateboarding Sim Game invites you to take to the streets of New York to play great characters while in full control of your board. As a matter of fact, Like Skate, the popular Electronic Arts saga, Creā-ture Studios simulation gives you the ability to perform dozens of different tricks with the sticks on your controller. Already available in Early Access on Steam, the game will be released in its final version in summer 2022 on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S.

Ice skate 4

After more than ten years of absence, the Electronic Arts Skateboard License made a comeback during EA Play Live in June 2020 to announce a fourth opus. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait a long time to get our hands on this new component with the sober title Skate 4. The title remains very mysterious a year after it was announced. At the moment, Full Circle, the developers of the game, have not announced a picture, release date, or even a game platform. However, to help us be patient, the team gave a first behind-the-scenes look at development on July 22nd.

SkateBIRD

On August 12th it is the turn of the crazy skateboarding game SkateBIRD to be presented on PC and Microsoft consoles. The title included in the GamePass invites you to play as a young skateboard bird who does not hesitate to make dozens and dozen of figures between the furniture of a house and Thrasher magazines to blow up the scores. If you’re a huge fan of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater saga, you won’t be disappointed. The Glass Bottom Games title actually uses all of the codes in Activision’s emblematic license.

Skate story

If there’s one game that has made our mouth watering for many months, it’s Skate Story, of course. Sam Eng’s mystical game puts you in control of a transparent silhouette wearing a sumptuous pair of vans to enjoy an extraordinary, dreamy journey. Indeed, the title puts the part of the score aside in order to concentrate fully on its contemplative aspect. The player will therefore be able to go through many levels at his own pace while enjoying the care of the tricks and their animations. Unfortunately, the latter does not yet have an exit window.

Reiter Republic

Let’s forget about the skateboards for the next two games to make room for board games. So the first is none other than Riders Republic, Ubisoft Annecy’s future production, expected on October 28th. Just like Steep, by which he is heavily inspired, Riders Republic benefits from a large playing area (several national parks in the USA are represented) and, above all, has a variety of playable sports Starting with skiing and snowboarding, downhill biking, paragliding and wingsuiting. Also note that the title benefits from a strong social dimension: twenty drivers can get together on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and more than fifty on next-gen PC and consoles.
