Skate four isn’t occurring, burn Twitter to the bottom

Skate four shouldn’t be actual. Try to not journey over your decrease lip.

Skate four shouldn’t be in growth at EA. Sorry.

CEO Andrew Wilson explicitly denied the lengthy awaited sequel after an investor requested in regards to the chance throughout the publisher’s Q3 2017 financials immediately, saying EA is “not presently making Skate 4”. He even made a joke about how disappointing that is to CFO Blake Jorgensen, though this was not a time for levity, however for deep, deep mourning.

We bought our hopes up somewhat bit on this entrance after an EA community manager made a mysterious Skate 4 tweet simply forward of financials. Alas, it doesn’t appear to have been something greater than the expression of a private want – or maybe an try and drum up curiosity in help of an inner pitch.

Who is aware of? Maybe EA’s neighborhood and PR groups are even now harvesting each article and engagement metric on behalf of a studio eager to deliver Skate four earlier than the inexperienced mild panels.

Or perhaps all of us simply actually needed to consider. Skate four, we’ll by no means hand over on you. You hear us? Never – though after the pratfall that was the latest Tony Hawk, it’s not vastly shocking EA’s a bit cautious of the style.

The final Skate recreation was 2010’s Skate three. All three primary sequence entries launched in fast succession on PS3 and Xbox 360, and are as well-known for hilarious bugs as they’re for the genuinely gratifying sandboxes they offered. The closest factor we have now to a contemporary Skate recreation is Goat Simulator, regardless of common fan campaigning.
