Devolver Digital announced on the 9th that they have officially launched the skating adventure title, 'Skate Story'. It is a solo project from developer Sam Eng, telling the tale of a demon tasked with a rather peculiar contract: skate all the way to the moon to earn your freedom.

You take control of a 'demon made of glass', navigating the ash, smoke, and warped architecture of the underworld. The game is designed such that you cannot progress without mastering physics—specifically center of gravity, momentum, and balance—and you will encounter a control scheme that actively incorporates authentic skating techniques like kickflips, ollies, and grinds. Throughout the journey, you will traverse various environments such as hallucinogenic streets, warped terrain, and wax-slicked rails, while also facing off against hostile entities that can only be overcome using your skating skills.

As your journey unfolds, you will unlock an increasing number of gear customization options, including stickers, wheels, decks, and trucks. You will also learn various tricks such as flips, powerslides, reverts, spins, fakies, and nollies. The soundtrack features contributions from New York-based artist Blood Cultures and composer John Fio, delivering music tailored to the underworld concept.

Skate Story is available on PC, PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2, and supports the Korean language.
