The new Skate game from EA has caught the attention of fans, igniting a mix of excitement and unease due to its planned integration of live service seasons.
With features like battle passes and challenges, there are increasing fears regarding potential monetization strategies reminiscent of Fortnite. As fans eagerly await the game, many are torn between enthusiasm for new skating adventures and apprehensions about in-game purchases.
According to EA, while players can earn rewards by completing challenges, the introduction of a seasonal structure raises concerns about the direction the franchise may take. The developers promise a rich soundtrack with more than 100 songs from emerging artists, hoping to enhance the game’s appeal without compromising its core experience.
