Skate Story will be released on both PS5 and PC in the current year.

Skate Story has been one of my most anticipated games ever since I first saw it in 2020, so it was great to get an update on it as part of Sony’s annual PS Indie Day. It’s been confirmed that the skateboarding adventure game is coming to PS5 and PC. Publisher Devolver Digital plans to release it later this year.

Solo developer Sam Eng describes Skate Story as “a game about a demon made of glass who needs to skate the Underworld and consume The Moon to fulfill the devil’s contract.” To defeat bosses, players must skate fast and perform tricks to deal damage. The latest trailer shows a time limit on the boss battle against the Moon — players only have until the end of a song to defeat it.

Players can learn and improve over 70 tricks and level up by completing skate trials. Characters in the game include a “pillowy demon who owns a laundromat” and a “jittery subway train” that players can befriend to “experience poetry about the multilight of the Moon.”
