The long-awaited Skate reboot may arrive sooner than many fans were expecting.

As reported by Tweak Town, a recently transcribed Electronic Arts earning call suggests that Skate will be “launching soon.” This is according to CEO Andrew Wilson, who continued on to say that content built and designed by gamers will play a major role in the hotly-anticipated game. “[User-generated content] has been at the very center of the Sims for a long time, it’s at the very center of modes like FIFA and Madden Ultimate Team, it’s at the very center at the design of Skate which will be launching soon.”

Wilson did not elaborate on what form this content will take but reassured fans that it will be an “extension of the social interaction” that players will be able to experience with their friends. Gamers are speculating that Skate could allow them to design and build their own skateparks; a similar system was used and enjoyed by many players when it was implemented in Skate 3. It’s likely that if a similar feature is implemented in the upcoming game, it will allow users to better access and experience courses and parks built by fellow skaters.

While Skate might not be as much of a household name as competitor Tony Hawk’s Pro-Skater, the franchise has carved out a dedicated cult following. The original game launched in 2007 and received almost universal praise for its innovative control scheme that tied tricks and board mobility to the right-analog stick rather than the controller’s face buttons. Developed by EA Black Box, it was followed by two sequels, both of which earned positive reviews from fans and critics.

The upcoming Skate, which is expected to be both a sequel and a reboot of the franchise, is being developed by Full Circle, a new studio recently opened by Electronic Arts. While fans were initially wary of another teaming taking ownership of the series, the game’s production is helmed by Daniel McCulloch alongside Deran Chung and Cuz Parry, all of whom created the original title.

As for details on the next game in the series, Electronic Arts has yet to show any gameplay footage of the title. The publisher put out a brief message in 2021 that development was progressing steadily, highlighting the extensive motion capture work being put into the project.

Skate does not have a release date but it will likely launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC.
