If you were gaming during the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 era, there's a very good chance that you'll have dabbled in at least one of the skate. trilogy of games. skate. 1 - 3 all launched within the same generation to critical and commercial success, but to the surprise of all series fans, the franchise has been completely dormant ever since.
The franchise entirely skipped the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 generation, leaving space for Tony Hawks 1 + 2 Remake; and more recently the 3 + 4 remake which we liked here at Gamer Social Club.

Early access will be completely free for players for all platforms. There is no pre-launch sign up required.
