It’s felt like forever since its first announcement, but Skate Story, a surreal skateboarding title by Sam Eng, finally launches in December. While it’s coming to PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, it will also be available on day one for PlayStation Plus subscribers.
PlayStation Blog also shared some new details about the otherworldly adventure, starting with the controls. Holding Square unleashes a power slide, while holding down Circle performs an Ollie. Pretty simple, right? However, as you experiment with the L1 and L2 buttons, you can perform Front Pops, Heelflips and Pop Shuvits.
There are over 70 tricks to unlock, and you’ll need some serious variety to defeat the game’s bosses, which require building your combo meter and stomping with Square at the right moment. Timed jumps nets more points, which equates to more damage, but be careful – one wrong move and the meter’s wiped.
Beyond battling bosses, you’ll also complete various missions and fulfill requests for various underworld denizens (like destroying a “smelly monolith” for a talking trash bag). Rabbie the ghost rabbit will serve as your guide, and there’s a hub where you can spend soul currency to customize your deck.
Skate Story launches on December 8th. Check out some gameplay of a battle against the Moon here.
