Avinash Bali of the Tech2 blog recently got to speak to some of the head honchos at EA’s meet the makers event in Singapore.

Amongst other questions about forthcoming EA games, he dropped the question about the possibility of a Skate 2 announcement coming soon:

I asked him what plans he had for Skate since (a) it was very well received; and (b) there’s no way in hell EA’s letting a successful game get away that easily.

Once again, he gave me that smug smile and said that the guys back at Black Box would kill him if he said anything. But there was something about his smile that said “Yes we’re working on one but I can’t talk about it or they’ll kill my family”. So yeah, I’m guessing we can expect a “formal announcement” in the near future.

As can be expected, with the recent announcements that Activision will be evolving the Tony Hawk franchise in the wake of the sales information versus Skate - EA will be keeping anything to do with Skate 2 close to its chest until an announcement is made.

I suspect that we will see a similar game to Skate but with more customisation, dynamic environments including weather effects and also the ability to get off the board - which the majority of people are asking for!
