Studio Zellah Games announced Skate Style — "next-generation skateboarding" emphasizing creativity and control over every movement. Developers promise to release the game this year.
Revolutionary Animation Editor
Skate Style's main feature is a built-in animation editor. It allows manually adjusting trick styling: body movement, footwork, timing, and overall "flow." Through this, each trick looks different, and players can recreate legendary pro mannerisms or invent their own style.
Physics-Driven Gameplay
Developers state gameplay relies on physics rather than scripted animations. Animations here serve as guidelines for the physical model, causing feet to actually catch the board while tricks never repeat identically. Controls promise to be responsive and deep — emphasizing manual control.
Real-World Locations
Action unfolds in detailed recreations of real locations. The game features Barcelona streets with iconic MACBA and alleys, plus Prague's Stalin Square. For montage enthusiasts, an advanced replay editor provides cinematic cameras, slow motion, and flexible viewing angles.
Deep Customization
Developers paid special attention to customization. Players can create unique skaters — from appearance and clothing to board setup. Mod support, replay sharing, and regular updates should transform Skate Style into a full community platform.
Ray Tracing with Steam Deck Support
Skate Style uses modern graphics technologies including ray tracing. Meanwhile, developers promise stable performance even on weak hardware: on Steam Deck, the game will run at 40-60 fps on minimum settings.
Touch "next-generation skateboarding" in Skate Style exclusively on PC via Steam. A project demo is already available on Valve's platform.
