Who among us hasn’t fantasized about escaping hell as a skateboarding demon made of glass? That’s the task laid out for you in the offbeat indie title Skate Story. Devolver, always up for creative and subversive risk-taking, announced on Thursday that the game will arrive on December 8.
Skate Story has you performing ollies, kickflips and grinds to swallow the moon and free yourself from the Devil and his minions. Do I understand developer Sam Eng’s metaphors? Nope. Does it look badass nonetheless? You bet. Just check out the trailer below, where the shattering of your glass body looks just as satisfying as nailing that tailslide.
The game was announced way back in 2020 and delayed multiple times. In 2023, Devolver even included it in its tongue-in-cheek Delayed showcase, where it proudly announced titles it was pushing back to 2024. Of course, it missed that window, too.
But with its first specific release date, it looks like you’ll finally have the chance to play it (on PC, Mac, Switch 2 or PS5) on December 8. And you can try the Skate Story demo on Steam right now.
