Be an insider to the world of the nextSkate
TheSkateteam is back with a new update, in the form of some very early gameplay and sign-ups. Electronic Arts is letting fans sign-up to be in an early insider playtest forSkate.
In today’s video, titled “Still Working On It,” theSkateteam shows off some “Pre-Pre-Pre-Alpha” gameplay of the newSkate. It’s a neat behind-the-scenes look at just what goes into making something likeSkate.
Even so, it looks likeSkateis coming together quite well. And sign-ups are open if you’d like to see just how well.
An early look atSkate
Over on EA’s website, the team is hosting sign-ups to be an early playtester forSkate. You can find theregistration page here.
Any sharing or capturing of the early playtest is prohibited, and there isn’t a roadmap for playtests just yet either. The playtest is only available on PC via Origin as well. It will, however, grow to more platforms as testing expands.
So this isn’t the usual open beta or way to get players in and poking at some final systems just ahead of launch. EA stresses that it’s still “very early” in the development ofSkate, and it wants early feedback to help shape the future ofSkate.
The newSkatewas unveiled during the2020 EA Play Live stream, where its developers joked that fans “commented this into existence.” While ithasn’t been seen muchsince, the fervor for a newSkatecertainly hasn’t seemed to die down just yet. Hopefully the new entry can live up to some titanic expectations.
