They have Leaked First Look at Skate 4 Gameplay in which we can observe some new mechanics. Skate 4 has been one of the most requested games of the last decade. The Electronic Arts series faded after the release of Skate 3 in 2010, leaving many wondering if it would ever return. The skate genre as a whole became a thing of the past when the Tony Hawk franchise titles became huge critical and commercial flops.
However, in 2020, Electronic Arts confirmed that Skate 4 was in the works, but no details were given, as the publisher wanted to announce it as soon as it was sure the game was going to be a reality. And now that game seems more and more real, with this first Skate 4 gameplay.

Leaked Skate 4 gameplay
Almost two years later, the game is undergoing playtesting and a gameplay of Skate 4 has been leaked. The game is still in the development phase, so the images are not very clear. The environment is unfinished, sound effects from Skate 3 seem to have been reused, and much more. However, it shows that the game closely resembles its predecessors, with its precise movements and fluid animations.
