Skate 4 is getting console playtests, somewhere down the line
A new episode of The Board Room has confirmed that Skate will be getting some playtests on console in the future, and that the game will have flumping. You know, flumping?
The latest episode of The Board Room gave us another look at the upcoming Skate game (still actually called skate. but I’m not writing it that way, sorry), showing off some of the gameplay activities we can look forward to whenever the game does launch. Right out the gate the episode asks, “what’s the deal with console playtests?” sans any kind of Seinfeld cadence, and quickly answers that by quickly saying, “we’re doing PC first, and then we’ve got more to share as we move into the consoles.”
Much like the release date, there’s no timeframe as to when we can expect to try the game out on console, but given that all of the footage shown off is still being labelled as pre-pre-alpha, it’s probably safe to expect it’ll be a little while longer. On the topic of progression, it was once again made clear that the game won’t have paid loot boxes, something that’s been a concern amongst fans.
