Electronic Arts has unveiled the first concrete details on its forthcoming PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 sequel, Skate 2.
According to several videos released on the company’s official website, the game takes place approximately five years after the events of the first title, with San Vanelona having undergone somewhat of a dramatic change in the years gone by.
Following your success in winning Skater of the Year in the original Skate, the game’s main protagonist mysterious disappears, with no clue as to his whereabouts. In the meantime, the local law enforcement has cracked down heavily on the skating culture in the area, with caps placed on rails to prevent users from grinding, along with the appearance of several “No Skating" signs throughout town.
What local enthusiasts previously thought as a skater’s paradise has now become a mere shadow of its former self.
Sadly that’s all we have to go on right now, although expect more details to crop up (hopefully gameplay related) in the very near future.
