EA's New Skate Game Is Always Online, Reconfirmed For 2025 Launch
Briefly

EA's Skate game, developed by Full Circle, will require a constant internet connection, emphasizing its design as a living multiplayer sandbox. The game aims to evolve over time with both larger city changes and smaller in-game events. Set to launch into early access this year, Full Circle reassured fans that while the game will be bundled with microtransactions to support ongoing development, new areas and features will not be locked behind paywalls. The developer believes that this approach ensures a fair and enjoyable gaming experience.
"The game and city are designed to be a living, breathing massively multiplayer skateboarding sandbox that is always online and always evolving," the studio said.
"In order to deliver on our vision of a skateboarding world, the game will always require a live connection," Full Circle added.
"If a new area is added to the game world, you can access it for free," the studio said.
"We know that using real money during a playtest is a little unusual, but we think it's the best way to properly assess and adjust the system before launch," Full Circle said.
