Skate Story Sets December 8 Launch on PS5, Switch 2 and PC as Steam Demo Goes Live

Created by solo developer Sam Eng, the surreal skate odyssey spotlights bespoke trick systems, DualSense light effects plus a new Blood Cultures soundtrack.

Overview

  • A playable PC demo is available now on Steam as part of October’s Steam Next Fest, offering an early look at the game’s mechanics and atmosphere.
  • Sam Eng detailed PS5-specific DualSense light-bar effects designed to mirror the skater’s glass body in dark environments.
  • New systems include dynamic board wear, single-use stickers that add style and durability, and a STOMP finisher that converts a trick combo into area damage.
  • Progression spans nine layers of the Underworld with over 70 tricks, skate trials for leveling, and gear upgrades for decks, wheels and trucks.
  • The score features 12 new tracks by Blood Cultures with additional music by John Fio, incorporating field recordings from New York City.
