The wheels continue to turn on Skate 4, EA’s upcoming kickflip-and-grind sim, which is now officially called just Skate—”skate.,” technically, but we’re pretty sticky about the proper use of capitalization and punctuation around here, so Skate it is. We got our first glimpse at it courtesy of some footage that leaked back in April, and today we were given a proper look at what it’s all about—sort of.
“We told you we’re back, and we’re still working on it—but it’s time for you to see what we’ve been up to,” EA said. “It’s still early, but we want to get this right and that means we want you to be a part of it.”
It definitely looks early. The video, labelled “pre-pre-pre-alpha,” begins with a bare-bones mechanical showcase in a world without textures, before eventually transforming into something more polished, but still a little rough around the edges. It’s an interesting look at a game in the early stages of development, especially since that sort of “under construction” perspective is generally not shared by major publishers like EA.
The really interesting thing about the trailer, though, is the blend of skating and parkour on display—”skarkour,” as features producer Nat Clayton put it. Most of the action is on boards, naturally, but there’s no overlooking the moments of swinging, climbing, and wallrunning scattered here and there, either.
How to Sign Up for the Skate 4 Playtest
Wondering how to sign up for the Skate 4 playtest? Yes, that is right skaters, the time to get your hands on this long-awaited sequel for a test run is almost here. Here is everything you need to know about doing so easily.
How to Sign Up for the Skate 4 Playtest
The upcoming Skate 4 playtest is scheduled to start at 10 AM PT on Tuesday, July 5, and go on until 5 PM PT on Friday, July 8. A selected few will get around four days to experience the latest iteration of the game and test out different new features, report bugs, and soak in what the game has to offer.
In order to sign up for the new Skate 4 playtest, you first need to ensure you have an EA account. Simply log in to your existing EA account and register to be a playtester by filling out you’re playtesting preferences and praying that you get the invite to check out the game early.
While nothing has been confirmed in regards to the platform by EA, players that received early invites for Skate 4 playtest are exclusive to PC. This means that currently console players across both PlayStation and Xbox hardware won’t be able to access the playtest. However, this can change in the future as EA would likely open up access to all players across platforms.
There’s no guarantee that not everyone who signs up for the playtest will receive an invite. It’s also currently unknown how many players will be allowed to join the Skate 4 playtest. So even if you’re registered, there’s no assurance you’ll be able to experience this upcoming playtest. That’s everything about how to sign up for the upcoming Skate 4 Playtest.
