EA’s next Skate game will not be part of EA Play Live 2021, but developer Full Circle has a “little something” to share with all of us tomorrow, July 19.
Full Circle shared the news on Twitter, reiterating that, while the studio was formed in January and they got a “bunch of super talented people to join the family,” the currently untitled new Skate game is not quite ready for prime time yet.
“holy @%$!… it’s been a year?!?! what have we been up to? well, we formed a studio back in january, got a bunch of super talented people to join the family, and we’ve been working hard on the new game, now, we know many of your were hoping to see more from us this week but we’re not ready for prime time just yet and we won’t be part of the EA Play Live show on thursday,” Full Circle wrote.
“it’s still early and we are committing to doing this thing right which means it’s gonna take some time. our number one goal is not to blow it. for you, for us… for skate. HOWEVER, we are stoked to share a little something with you all tomorrow.”
This new Skate game joins those who have also confirmed that they will not be part of EA Play Live, including the next Mass Effect and Dragon Age and any Star Wars game.
This new Skate project was announced at last year’s EA Play, where Cuz Parry and Deran Chung announced that the long-awaited new entry in the skating franchise was “really early” in development.
EA Play Live’s main showcase is set to air on Thursday, July 22 at 10am PT/1pm ET/6pm BST and will feature updates on Battlefield 2042, Apex Legends, Lost in Random, and quite possibly a Dead Space revival if reports end up coming true.
