EA Black Box developing Skate 3 for 2010
Today Electronic Arts announced that its Vancouver-based Black Box studio is currently developing the third entry in the Skate series.
Skate 3 will feature an increased focus on the social and multiplayer elements of the game, with an all new “skate crew” element.
“The social and community aspects of the Skate franchise are something we’ve always embraced, but we’ve never done anything to the scale you’re going to see in Skate 3,” senior producer Jason DeLong said. “We’re giving gamers a very unique experience by providing them with the tools they need to build their ultimate team or to create a team comprised entirely of their online friends. From there, it’s all about proving yourself — teaming up, and throwing down.”
EA Black Box developed both of the previous entries in the well-received series, as well as the Wii-exclusive Skate It and several entries in the Need For Speed series. Skate 3 is expected to be released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in May 2010.
