Thankfully, according to tried and tested EA insider Tom Henderson, that’s not the case. In fact, per Henderson, the new Skate is “much further along in development” than you might think and has even entered internal playtesting. This info has been corroborated by those who have been able to dig into the code for EA’s Origin subscription service, which states that testing has begun on “Project Dingo” (the codename for the new Skate game). As for new details about the game itself, Henderson says it’s unlikely the game will be free-to-play. Instead, expect a traditional release with crossplay (a feature EA is looking to add to all its sports titles). EA’s teaser video from last year hinted at an open world and new ways to get around, including the ability to climb. So, when might we hear more about the new Skate? Well, this year’s traditional EA Play Live show has been canceled, but EA is promising individual reveals throughout the year. Hopefully, Skate 4 is one of them. What do you think? Excited to see what EA has been cooking up for Skate 4?
