Full Circle’s Skate, the long-awaited sequel to the pro skating series, is currently in playtesting and several details have been leaked thus far. The map, controls and customization along with potential release in Halloween 2022/2023 – due to the presence of decorations for the same – have been revealed. But for those who want gameplay, Reddit’s Parzalai has you covered.
The videos are viewable through Google Drive and showcase the introduction, some on-foot gameplay, tricks like Rollie-Pollies, and so on. The user notes that the essence of Skate is still intact, though it needs a lot of work due bugged settings and crashes (the latter possibly due to the build being cracked). Nevertheless, the animations are cited as being “pristine” with on-foot gameplay also feeling a lot better.
The current state of the pre-alpha could be taken as further proof that Skate is a long way off from release. Impressions have been positive as whole though so we’ll see how it progresses in the coming months. It’s currently in development for PC.
