Back in June 2020, EA officially announced that it was bringing the Skate franchise back with a new game, but we didn't know much about the studio taking on the project. That changes today, with EA announcing the new studio it has put together for Skate 4.
EA's newest studio, Full Circle, is going to be working on the next Skate game, headed by former Xbox Live manager, Daniel McCulloch.
Hi! Yes, we’re still working on the next Skate and we officially formed a studio to prove it! https://t.co/Ha1Zf9omyI pic.twitter.com/2M3WNvzBxb

The studio itself is based in Vancouver and currently has plenty of open job positions that need filling. As you would expect, the Creative Director role has already been filled, with Deran Chun and Chris Parry taking on creative duties.
As this studio has only just formed, we can expect a long wait ahead for Skate 4. It is still likely a few years away from release.
