Look out Tony Hawk, The Flying Tomato wants a piece of the skateboarding videogame market. Ubisoft announced Shaun White Skateboarding today, a skating game from Ubisoft Montreal. Multiple Olympic snowboard gold medalist, Shaun White, makes his skateboarding game debut this holiday season.
The game promises an innovative twist on the skateboarding genre.
“I can’t describe how excited I am about the skateboard game,” says Shaun White. “We’ve been working on it for a while now and it’s ready to melt minds.”
Shaun White is clearly more than just an Olympic gold medalist. He is the first athlete to win gold in both snowboarding and skateboarding at the Winter and Summer X Games.
“As we’ve just seen at the Olympics, Shaun is a one-of-kind action sports athlete,” says Tony Key, US senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. “Shaun’s enthusiasm for skateboarding shines through in this truly unique game.”
The game is slated for release this holiday season on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and Wii.
