EA announced that Skate 3 is in the works and scheduled for a May 2010 release. The Skating franchise that finally challenged Tony Hawk's monopoly on the skating video game genre is looking to emphasize community and co-op in this new game.
“The social and community aspects of the SKATE franchise are something we’ve always embraced, but we’ve never done anything to the scale you’re going to see in SKATE 3,” said Senior Producer, Jason DeLong. “We’re giving gamers a very unique experience by providing them with the tools they need to build their ultimate team or to create a team comprised entirely of their online friends. From there, it’s all about proving yourself – teaming up, and throwing down.”

According to EA, there are a lot of new modes and features planned to make the Skate 3 experience unique for each gamer. Expect lots of customization tools utilizing real skateboard brand Black Box Distribution to add some authentic flair to the game. Skate parks, deck graphics, and videos will all be customizable.
Keep an eye out for this one in May 2010.
