Skate Story is an upcoming sports skateboarding video game developed by independent indie game developer Sam Eng and published by Devolver Digital. The game was announced in December 2022 during Devolver Digital’s Public Access Holiday Special. It was supposed to be released in 2023 but was pushed to 2024 for some reason. Developer Sam Eng previously developed the game Zarvot and Zarvot is available on some consoles so it remains to be seen if Skate Story will be released on PS5, Xbox, and Switch.
Gameplay
Skate Story is all about skateboarding at its core. You play as a unique character: a skateboarding demon made of glass and pain, cruising through a place called The Emptylands. The game is all about smooth moves, trying out different tricks like ollies, kickflips, and grinds.
Controls are designed to feel realistic and easy to pick up, so you can focus on nailing those awesome tricks. You’ll earn points for pulling off cool moves and exploring new areas. To progress, you’ll need to tackle skate trials, leveling up, learning new tricks, and getting sweet gear by trading your soul.
The game isn’t just about skating though, it’s also about solving puzzles and uncovering the story as you explore different levels and environments. So, get ready to shred, solve, and uncover the secrets of The Emptylands in Skate Story.
Is Skate Story coming to PS5, Xbox, and Switch?
Skate Story is developed by indie game developer Sam Eng and previously developed by Zarvot is available on console but Skate Story is not coming to PS5, Xbox, and Switch. This game will be released on Microsoft Windows, and Mac operating systems only. Sony Interactive Entertainment has a 5% stake in Devolver Digital, publisher of Skate Story, so it’s possible that we could see the game on PS5 in the future. Currently, the developers have no plans to release Skate Story on console.
Conclusion
In conclusion, while Skate Story promises thrilling skateboarding action and intriguing puzzle-solving in The Emptylands, it’s unfortunate that console players won’t have immediate access. Developed by Sam Eng and published by Devolver Digital, the game is slated for release on PC and Mac only, with no current plans for PS5, Xbox, or Switch availability. However, with Sony’s stake in Devolver Digital, there’s a glimmer of hope for future console adaptation.
