When is the Skate 4 release date? If you’re a fan of the franchise, you know that the last game in the series ‘Skate 3’ was released back in 2010. Meanwhile, Skate 2 came out in 2009, and Skate was released in 2007. A spin-off called Skate It came out in 2008 as well.
Since there’s such a gap after the last game, it made fans curious to know if Skate 4 was even in development. Luckily, EA has announced that a fourth installment of Skate is indeed in development, over a decade after the release of Skate 3.
What is the Skate 4 Release Date?
As of the time of writing, there is no official release date for Skate 4. However, there are several indications that suggest it will likely be released sometime in mid to late 2024.
Here’s what we know so far:
