Skate.reel and Skate Graphics Have Been Retired [ Edited ]

[EA_Najat]

Skate.reel and Skate Graphics Announcement

We are sad to announce that as of April 29, The Skate.Reel and Skate.Graphics features will be retired.

The decisions to retire online features are never easy.

Our web development team and operational staff have poured their hearts into this game almost as much as the customers using them, and it is hard to see them retired.

But the number of players still enjoying Skate has dwindled to a point where it’s no longer feasible to continue the behind-the-scenes work involved with keeping these websites up and running.

We hope you have gotten many hours of enjoyment out of Skate.Reel and Skate.Graphics and we appreciate your ongoing patronage.

Since the Skate.reel and Skate Graphics Announcement many players have posted their comments and questions regarding the game and the effects of this decision.

The website and therefore the Skate.Graphics web tool are no longer available.
We have had the opportunity to see many players’ creations in the gallery and we are sure you enjoyed it as much as we did.
We understand that this may be disappointing and although the skate.Graphic tool has been removed, we are still collecting your feedback in this regards and we are following all your comments. 

Besides that, as you may have noticed, the Share pack is now available for free.
(Skate Share Pack / Sony Entertainment Network - Skate Share Pack  / Xbox Live)

Although Skate.Reel has been retired, the content can still be shared within the game so the skate share pack is still available and is now free of charge.
For the same reasons the Filmer Pack add-on has been removed as this was an upgrade to the Skate.reel feature.

Regarding the achievements, please note that the ‘Artsy Fartsy’ and ‘Constructive Criticism’ achievements can be unlocked in game.

Other than this, there has been a lot of speculation and questions around a new skate title.

In order to avoid any confusion, up to now, please note that no announcement has been made regarding a new Skate game. If this change we will let you know.
