The popularity of certain sports within the medium of video games has waned and waxed over the many years. Currently, the skateboarding genre is seeing a resurgence with one of the most prominent upcoming titles being Session: Skate Sim. After a lengthy development and Early Access period, Session is set to get its full release this September.
Making the announcement during the recent Nacon Connect Showcase (Where an open-world Terminator game was also announced), a release date for Session was finally announced: The 22nd of September 2022. This follows on from a lengthy Early Access period which began all the way back in September of 2019.
For the uninitiated, Session is a skateboarding title which take heavy inspiration from EA’s SKATE franchise (which is also making a return) as well as “the golden age of street skating – the 1990s”
Session: Skate Sim “lets you experience true skateboarding and its culture: no scoring system; just you, your spot and your imagination!” – a vastly different style of play to that of the other major skateboarding franchise: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.
Session has been met with ‘very positive’ reviews on Steam since its Early Access debut, and with the game currently 25% off (meaning it costs just £14.99), now would be a great time to familiarise yourself with the game ahead of its full release on the 22nd of September.
