Skater XL ollies out of early access this summer, joined by a few pros - wolakofas1945

Skater XL will officially launch in July, chase a kinda low-cay period in Steam's early access program. On with the release window, developer Unchaste Day Studios has also revealed that legendary skating pros Tom Asta, Tiago Lemos, Evan Smith, and Brendan Westgate will appear in the gritty as playable characters.

In the promulgation trailer, Easy Day has likewise shown off or s of Skater XL's setting: it's smack dab in downtown Los Angeles, with landmarks alike the Staples Center and the Caltrans Territory 7 Headquarters making appearances in the video. Different the real variant of LA, even so, Skater Forty's rendition leaves the streets and plazas free and clear to binge abreast your deck, grinding handrails and doing kickflips to your heart's self-satisfied.

You'll have to cut in some rehearse time, though – Skater XL is quite a bit different from the Tony Hawk's Favoring Skater series of more arcadey skateboarding games. Here, you'll need to carefully perform each trick, and Skater XL's nuanced control scheme gives you a ton of bit-to-moment input.

Here's the trailer:

As the video demonstrates, Skater Forty is more about real-lifetime skating than gravity-defying cartwheels and loop-de-loops. That nuanced control scheme demands a deft touch, and you'll spend some time acquiring a lot of route rash before you can graciously glide through LA's urban landscape.

Skater XL is already connected our list of the best skateboarding games for PC, and we're emotional to see what the full game adds to the see. Information technology sure looks like the echt deal.
