If you're one of many virtual skateboarding fans who've been left in the cold, Skater XL could well be of interest. The skating sim was announced for PlayStation 4 last month, but developer Easy Day Studios has now stamped a rough release schedule on the game. As you can see at the end of this trailer, the promising skateboarding title is due to launch in July this year.
This game's USP is its freeform gameplay; there are no tricks pre-programmed into the game. Instead, any tricks you do pull off are from experimenting with the game's physics and dual thumb stick controls. It sounds pretty interesting, basically the polar opposite of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater -- which is rumoured to be making a return.
Do you like the look of Skater XL? Will you be taking it for a spin this summer, or are you holding out for a Tony Hawk or Skate revival? Manual into the comments below.

Again, I reiterate, don’t buy this on PS4 because it’s a barebones release and still in early access. It benefits so much from mods that the PC release is the best option.
like i said before,i'm not counting on any release dates to be accurate for the rest of the year.
could it release this july? it can,but i'll hold open the cards for a delay.
Blimey it's a Tony Hawks rip off!!
Still waiting for Skate 4.
@Saucymonk so you didn't read the article? "It sounds pretty interesting, basically the polar opposite of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater"
@jdv95 @Arugula I mean they're a month or so into WFH I imagine and are a smaller studio. I imagine if they're setting a date 3 months from now for a digital only game then yes, they probably will make it barring any unforeseen changes.
