Skate Season 1 Brings New Events, Challenges, More Next Week on PS5, PS4

Happy Skate-o-ween

Skate has been available in early access now for a couple of weeks or so, and soon it’ll get its first major content update.

On 7th October, the free-to-play skateboarding title will enter Season 1, running until 2nd December. Here’s a trailer that gives a brief look at what it entails:

The seasonal update will give San Vansterdam a makeover, adding new skateable areas and obstacles as well as a visual refresh.

There will also be a couple of events running, namely Skate-o-Ween — the game’s spin on Halloween of course — and the 7-Ply Maple Harvest. These events will update community parks to match the theme, and there will be related cosmetics you can get with in-game Tix, earned by participating in the events.

Season 1 also adds 40 new challenges that’ll rotate into the game on a weekly basis, and new Seasonal Tasks are being introduced — these are your daily, weekly, seasonal, and event objectives.

There’s also the debut of the Skate Pass, which will have a free and a premium tier. These bring with them all sorts of fun rewards to earn, like new clothes, decks and so on.

On top of all that, the soundtrack is being refreshed with 21 new songs. These include:

Bad Religion – Against The Grain
Dinosaur Jr. – Freak Scene
Gang Star – Full Clip
Jane’s Addiction – Stop!
Sonic Youth – Teen Age Riot
Joey Bad4$$ – Pardon Me
Ice Cube – Bop Gun (One Nation)
Naughty By Nature – It’s On
Operation Ivy – Sound System
Skegss – L.S.D (Live. Sleep. Die)

It’s a fairly substantial update, then. Will you be checking out Season 1 of Skate? Roll into the comments section below.
