In February 2022, we learned through EA’s financial results that “Skate 4” would see the light of day in the same year. Today we can learn a little more from Tom Henderson.
Insider Tom Henderson is clearly not an official source, but he’s well known enough to rarely get it wrong and always have good information in his pocket. This time the man talks about it evaluator. So we can know that SKATE game is currently in playtest phase via Origin API application. It is interesting that the mention of SKATE 4 does not appear anywhere. The publisher never used the number 4 to talk about their game.
A SKATE reboot?
The lack of a number in the title might indicate that this isn’t a direct sequel, but more of a reboot. Also note some rumors that the title would be free. According to Henderson, this would be (in his own words) pure speculation, and it wasn’t.
Meanwhile, the man supplemented his statements with an update that several people had contacted him to confirm that testing phases had actually been taking place for months. It’s always interesting when an insider mentions a rumor in his remarks to discredit them.
This proves once again that the world of video games is not a long calm river and that there is a true battle for information and… misinformation going on behind the scenes? Let’s wait and see.
