Skate 2 Release Date Announced
Defying expectations of a March 2009 release, EA today sent word that Skate 2, the sequel to the popular skateboarding game, will hit stores in North America on January 21, 2009 and the world two days later.
To make the deal sweeter, EA also revealed that those who pre-order the game now will receive an exclusive code to unlock the Throwback Pack, a special upgrade pack that includes retro clothing, accessories and gestures in-game.
Skate 2 will have you revive the skating scene of New San Vanelona, a city that is recovering from an “unspeakable disaster five years ago.” You will be tasked with creating your own skating career; it will let you create your own epic spots and challenges which can be uploaded and shared with the rest of the world.
The game is due out on PS3 and Xbox 360.
