After launching in early access, the inaugural season of Skate is set to debut next week, introducing new locations, events, challenges, and more.

Titled Hesh & Fresh, this first season draws inspiration from the ’90s and will take place from October 7th to December 2nd.

As previously noted, this season will feature an enhanced lighting system aimed at making the city of San Van appear “more grounded and lived in.” Additionally, players can utilize the skate.Pass to earn seasonal in-game currency, referred to as Tix, which can be used to acquire cosmetic items.

This season will introduce two new events. The first, Skate-o-Ween, celebrates Halloween with a focus on fun costumes and will run from October 21st to November 11th.

Following this will be the 7-Ply Maple Harvest event, taking place from November 18th to December 2nd, which pays homage to the 1970s and the materials used in skateboard manufacturing during that era.

Both events will see updates to community parks and will offer themed cosmetic rewards.

The season will include 40 fresh challenges that will rotate on a weekly basis, introduce new brands to the in-game store, and feature 21 new tracks from iconic ’90s artists such as Bad Religion, Dinosaur Jr., Ice Cube, and others.

Having launched in early access last month, Skate has already garnered a positive response, especially as players share their exciting stunts on social media. The game’s release was particularly notable, resulting in extensive waiting times on its opening day.

“After a long wait, EA’s classic wheelie game returns with impressive handling and a uniquely enjoyable world,” reads a review of Skate’s early access.

EA, the publisher of Skate, recently announced plans for a private acquisition by a consortium of investors, including Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, in a deal valued at $55 billion.
