The developer Full Circle announced in his latest blog post, The Grind, that the fourth part of the series Skate D EA will have a dynamic soundtrack that will evolve with each new content season.
Skate 4 should be launched in early access by the end of the summer of 2025 and will introduce a live service model with seasons lasting about three months each. Each new season will introduce new updates from the world, features and soundtracks of the game. In its blog post, Full Circle has declared
“Oui, Skate will have seasons and seasonal content. The world, the game features, the events at stake and even the soundtracks will be updated to celebrate each season. “
It is likely that EA introduces new soundtracks with each new season, because the old songs will be gradually replaced by news as they expire, which is an intelligent decision.
Full Circle also announced that each new season of Skate 4 Will include a skateboard, with free and paid tracks, as well as rewards such as new cosmetics, personalization items and activities to maintain the interests of the players.
These seasonal updates will also include new music to allow you to vibrate and chain figures, while the audio of the game moves in the open city of the game, San vansterdam. The cultivation of skateboarding being deeply linked to music, the decision to set up a scalable soundtrack could maintain the appeal of the game over time.
As for live games, the game will require a permanent online connection, which Full Circle justified in April 2025 as a “massively multiplayer skateboarding sandbox alive and breathable” the studio clarified: “The answer is simple: no offline play. The game and the city are designed to always be online and evolve. Over time, as well as smaller things, such as events and other game activities. “
Although the requirement to be always online is intended for dynamic updates of San vansterdamlike environmental changes, live events and new musical additions, this decision still aroused concerns among skateboard fans whose internet connectivity is not reliable or those who planned to play the game on the move before.
On the other hand, the Playtestes of Full Circle for Skate 4which started in 2024, were generally welcomed, players praising the fluidity of skating and vibrant design of the world.
