Fantasy skateboard game SKATE STORY to 2023 distribution. A devil with a glass body slides the underground world

Devolver Digital announced on June 10 that it will distribute a skateboard game Skate Story by indie developer Sam English in 2023. The compatible platform is PC (Steam).

Skate Story is a skateboard game set in a strange underground world. The protagonist is the devil with a glass body. He is handed over a skateboard and can swallow the slide until the moon, and he will be released from pain, and runs in a world of ash and smoke.

The underground world is composed of nine levels, and there are areas like urban parks, places like a straight corridor, and places that look like a bridge in some places. Both have a fantastic and dark atmosphere. In the video, we use such a stage environment to determine skateboard tricks (techniques) and jump over the difficult gap. If you make a mistake and fall, the body of the glass seems to break.

In this work, he will find a challenge while searching the underground world, and will master the skateboard while creating a challenge himself. The tricks are more than 70 types, and you can learn new tricks by capturing and leveling up the challenge. There are also customization elements such as skateboard decks, wheels, and trucks. In order to obtain such items, it is necessary to sell the soul. There may be some collection elements.

This work was announced in 2020 and has been developed. Developer Sam Enge was a skater, playing skateboard games a lot, and said he had previously said that he was mixed with his favorite games for the operation of this work. At that time, it was clear that the EA's SKATE-style stick operation was incorporated and the weight transfer operation of the left and right feet was combined (related article). It is unknown whether it has changed from that operation, but it is expected to be a work that can enjoy full-fledged skateboard action.

SKATE STORY will be distributed in 2023 to PC (Steam).
