Skate 3 thrashing your way May 11

EA is set to release Skate 3 on May 11 in North America followed by May 14 worldwide. The third installment in the realistic skating game will allow you to build your skate team offline and co-operatively take on challenges or competitive challenges from other teams.

“Since the very beginning of the Skate franchise, we have captured the true essence of skateboarding, be it from the feel of nailing that perfect trick, to the feeling of just hanging out and sessioning with your friends,” says Jason DeLong, Senior Producer. “For us, SKATE 3 is the culmination of this endeavor – the most connected, accessible and social skateboarding experience yet.”

The new Skate School will put Coach Frank in the shoes of your mentor, teaching newcomers the ropes of skating. Look for a huge roster of professional skaters like Andrew Reynolds, and Josh Kalis.

The game is due out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
