The Fresh Tricks and New Spots
The Flick-It System Returns
The beloved Flick-It system is back, rebuilt from the ground up using the Frostbite engine. It’s sharper and more precise than ever. You can expect to pull off new moves too, like cool powerslides and impressive wallies.
Meet Skatepedia
For those new to the board, Skatepedia is your go-to guide. It teaches you how to master tricks and different styles. This means skate. will be easier for everyone to pick up and enjoy.
Explore San Vansterdam
Picture a brand new city built just for skating. That’s San Vansterdam. It has four unique neighborhoods, and you can now take a vertical approach to find every hidden skate spot. This whole city is free to explore. You can tackle challenges, join different sessions, or use Quick Positioning to build your very own skate space.
Make It Your Own
Just like everything else in the game, customization is just beginning. The team plans to add more options over time. You’ll be able to change how your skater looks and moves in much greater detail. For instance, tattoos will become available through the Live Service.
