Skate Fans Receive Disheartening News but Early Access Launch Confirmed

EA has announced that the new Skate reboot will enter early access in 2025, but it will not feature an offline mode as seen in earlier versions of the game. Players will be engaged in a continually evolving gaming environment, known as San Vansterdam, designed to operate as an always-online hub.

• Key Highlights:
  • Skate will not include an offline mode.
  • The game will evolve dynamically over time.
  • Opportunities for players to participate in early access will be available, with more invites scheduled for June 2025.

While some fans may be disappointed by the absence of offline gameplay, the excitement surrounding the upcoming early access is set to keep players engaged. Skeletal information is pertinent for those involved in the Skate Insiders program, where selective gameplay experiences will commence this year.

The Skate franchise was initially revived in 2020 after a long hiatus since Skate 3 debuted in 2010. Further news and updates on Skate’s progression will follow in the upcoming months, detailing the features set to debut in the initial opening of early access.
