Some pre-alpha footage of Skate 4 is floating around out there, and credible sources claim it’s legit.
Gamebeat’s Jeff Grubb reported that an early gameplay video of Skate 4 leaked online on Wednesday. In the footage, we can see a textureless in-game character kick flipping and rail-grinding through wide, empty environments. Despite how rough it may look visually, the gameplay seems solid — more like an actual Skateboarding simulation than the arcade aroma of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.
Watch the leaked footage of Skate 4 for yourself below. Remember, this isn’t anywhere close to the final build. Grubb mentions that the game isn’t coming out anytime soon, though we might hear more about it soon.
This is Skate 4 pre-alpha footage. This is in line with what I've heard about where the game is at from multiple people. They're trying to get the feel right, which is probably the most important aspect of a Skate game. https://t.co/AXNV2Agk6z pic.twitter.com/nUINhghxLg

The fluidity in this video is pretty impressive. Notice how seamless the transitions are from one trick to another. Hopefully, Electronic Arts (EA) will allow the development team ample polishing time and avoid another Battlefield 2042 situation. After all, Stake 4 is a franchise revival, so doing it right should be EA’s modus operandi.
Stake 4 is only one of many exciting titles being overseen by EA. There are three Star Wars games in development at Respawn while EA Motive plugs away at the Dead Space remake.
