Skating fans, the rumors are true and the official announcement has arrived. Skate Story, previously announced for PC, will be shredding it’s way on to PlayStation 5 in 2025. Developed by Sam Eng and published by Devolver Digital, Skate Story was announced in 2022 with an initial expected release in 2023. After a few delays, it appears we will finally get to play as the glass demon in 2025.

Developer Sam Eng took the PlayStation blog to deliver some updates and more information on the upcoming project. We now know you’ll skate through nine layers of hell to free yourself from a contract with the devil. This won’t be a journey that the Skater takes truly alone. You’ll have a cast of supporting characters to motivate you on your journey. Supporting characters include Happy Cube as highlighted in the trailer above. You’ll be wondering philosophical stances while battling demons and performing tricks set to a soundtrack by Blood Cultures with supporting tracks from John Fio.

The music plays an important role in the game, so don’t plan on listening to your own soundtrack. Skate Story have the boss battles set to the music in game. Each battle will have unique music in which you must keep the momentum going to defeat your enemy. Eng shared that when facing the moon, your tricks will do the damage needed to win. Although you may have some favorite tricks, you have to keep the routine fresh as over time the same tricks will do less damage. Of course, you’ll also want to be mindful of the song length, deal enough damage before the song ends or this is one fight you won’t win.

Skate Story clearly won’t be your traditional skating trick game with its hellish yet beautiful setting and the tortured demons looking for a rescue. Are you the savior their looking for or do you have a few too many chips in your glass exterior? Eng is looking forward is sharing more information on Skate Story this summer.
