EA Announce Skate 3

EA says its latest version of Skater 3 allows skaters to hone online skills

Skate 3 has been confirmed to be shipping in May 2010 and whether online or offline, players can now team up to build the ultimate skate crew in the definitive skateboarding co-op experience, claims publisher EA.

In SKATE 3, players take part in team-based challenges, compete against rival crews and leave their mark on the all-new skater’s paradise, Port Carverton.

Players who pre-order SKATE 3 get an unlock code that gives them exclusive access to the iconic Black Box Distribution Skate Park, home turf of Zero, Mystery, and Fallen skate teams.
Skate 3 features an all-new co-op mode where teammates can complete challenges together while advancing each other’s careers. From rewarding epic bails and fails with a beefed up Hall of Meat mode to honing your craft with the all-new skate.School, players of all skill levels have multiple ways to “kill it” in the game.

The franchise also continues to raise the bar for user created content with the skate.Create feature suite, an innovative toolset that empowers gamers to truly express their skate style by creating their own graphics, videos, and skate parks.

SKATE 3 is developed by Black Box, an Electronic Arts studio. It will be released on PS3 and Xbox 360.
