Devolver Digital and developer Sam Eng have together announced the release date for Skate Story on Switch 2, PC, and PlayStation 5, and it’s a December date.
Coming on December 8th, the team says: “Ollie, kickflip, and grind your way through the ash and smoke of the Underworld as you take on a seemingly impossible quest. Skate fast to destroy demons and save other tortured souls on your journey from a fragile beginner to a hardened skater.”
That said, if you want to get an early look at how it plays, and can do so on PC, there’s a demo hitting Steam Next Fest from today.
You are a demon in the Underworld, made out of glass and pain. The Devil has given you a skateboard with a simple deal: Skate to the Moon and swallow it — and you shall be freed.
Ollie, kickflip, and grind your way through the ash and smoke of The Emptylands as you take on a seemingly impossible quest. Learn to master your weight and motion to conquer the weeping concrete. Savour the ritualistic beauty as you set your feet to pop a perfect kickflip.
Skate fast to destroy vicious demons, help a forgetful frog, and save other tortured souls on your journey from fragile beginner to hardened skater. Push through hell and discover The Devil’s greatest weakness: humility, perseverance, and a disgustingly sweet backside tailslide.
All you need is your skateboard.
Here’s the key features from the latest press release:
- Stylish Street Skating Adventure: Skate through nine layers of the Underworld. Journey through streets and surreal landscapes full of waxed ledges, unholy gaps, and tortured demons.
- Succumb to the Beauty of the Board: Sell your soul for decks, wheels, and trucks to keep your skating fresh. Over 70+ skate tricks to progress and improve. Complete skate trials to level up and get new gear.
- Hypnotic Beats for Demonic Streets: Cruise through the Underworld to a psychedelic soundtrack by enigmatic New York artist Blood Cultures, with additional tracks by John Fio. Push through Hell and discover the Devil’s greatest weakness: humility, perseverance, and a disgustingly sweet backside tailslide. All you need is a skateboard.
Devolver Digital is on a serious hot streak (as usual) after Baby Steps (which has become a cult favourite for many reasons, especially in our Patreon only Discord), and still have Minos, Starseeker, and of course Skate Story, yet to come.
Skate Story is coming to PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 on December 8th.
