Skate fans out there that are waiting to hear more about the upcoming sequel may be getting just that in the near future, as EA has said that Skate 4 will be launching soon.

During EA’s recent investor’s earning call, EA CEO Andrew Wilson says that the launch for Skate 4 (referred to as simply Skate) is on the publisher’s slate:

Again, it’s been at the very center of The Sims for a long time. It’s at the very center of mode like FIFA Ultimate Team and Madden Ultimate Team, to the very center of the design of Skate, which we’ll be launching soon.

This definitely sounds like the announcement of Skate 4 release date isn’t all that far away, and with June approaching fast, it is likely we will see Skate 4 during the yearly EA Play event.

Development for the game was in its infancy when it was announced back at E3 2020. While we have gotten small updates on the title here and there, we have yet to actually see what Skate 4 actually looks like, though hopefully that will be changing thanks to the fact that Andrew Wilson has confirmed its approaching launch.

It should be noted that it remains to be seen if the next game will even be called Skate 4. This is because the series could see a reboot and the new game could simply be called ‘Skate’ as EA keeps referring it to, though for now we will assume the title is Skate 4 until the next major update.  Hopefully, a release date announcement for the game will also be revealed later this year, as well as platforms, which is assumed to be cross-gen, meaning PS4, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series, and of course, PC.
