On January 28, EA community manager Daniel Lingen got the hype machine primed and ready when he tweeted out "#skate4." During the question and answer period EA's quarterly investors call, it flat-out said it's "not presently making Skate 4."That doesn't mean there's no future for the Skate franchise, but it just means we may be waiting quite a while before we're flicking sticks and landing tricks again. Skate 3 came out way back in 2010. The good news, at least for Xbox One owners, is that Skate 3 is backwards compatible on Xbox One, so you don't need to pull out your last gen system to play it.The bad news is... well, we already went over the bad news.EA did reveal BioWare is developing a new, wholly-owned IP set to release before March 2018. It also announced multiple worlds and eras are coming to the follow-up to Star Wars Battlefront , as well as a holiday 2017 release window.
