BREAKING: EA just announced that its highly anticipated new Skate game, officially titled Skate 4 or simply “skate.“, will feature a live service structure with seasonal content updates every three months. This development is raising eyebrows among fans who fear the game may follow a trend similar to popular titles like Fortnite.
In a blog post dubbed The Grind, EA confirmed that players can earn customisation options by completing challenges using a new in-game currency known as Rip Chips. However, the addition of a skate.Pass has sparked concerns regarding monetization strategies and the potential impact on gameplay experience.
While the game will be free-to-play, the integration of seasonal content and a freemium model has left many fans wary of the direction the beloved franchise is taking. Critics argue that modern gaming trends could compromise the essence of what made the original Skate series so appealing.
On a positive note, the soundtrack promises to be extensive, featuring 100 songs that include both emerging artists and hidden gems, allowing players to discover new music while skating. Players will also have the ability to “like” individual tracks for custom playlists within the game.
The team behind Skate assures fans that they are “getting closer every day” to launching early access, but no specific dates have been provided yet. As the gaming community eagerly awaits more updates, the future of this iconic series hangs in the balance.
Stay tuned for more details on Skate as they emerge, and prepare for an experience that blends nostalgia with the evolving landscape of gaming. This is a developing story, and we will keep you informed with the latest updates.
