The new trailer also shows off new traversal elements that weren’t in previous games, such as jumping between ledges. The trailer also implies that the number of players that will be able to skate together will be largely increased. In April it was claimed that Skate 4 will include online free skate mode which lets users hang out and build skateparks together. Giant Bomb reporter Jeff Grubb discussed the mode during his premium Giant Bomb show Grubbsnax. Skate 2 TV commercialSubscribe to VGC on YouTube Grubb said EA’s was attempting to modernise the series without taking away from what fans loved about the three original games, the last of which was released in 2010. “They are going to be taking some modern stuff, specifically the kind of stuff you might see in a Forza game or a lot of modern online multiplayer games, where you’re going to have a lot of customisation options for your character, a lot of skins, skins for your board, things like that,” he said. The next Skate game, which is known to fans as Skate 4, but hasn’t been officially titled, was announced in 2020 following years of fan demand. EA CEO Andrew Wilson previously said he believes the company can grow the appeal of the Skate series by focusing on industry trends around user-generated content, open-worlds and community.
