Skate Story SHOCK! PlayStation Plus Release Date Revealed!

Alright, skate fans, listen up! Devolver Digital just dropped a cool surprise on us.

That's right, if you're a subscriber, you're getting this gnarly title as part of your membership. Nice!

Skate Story SHOCK! PlayStation Plus Release Date R...

The official announcement came, as so many do these days, through a PlayStation.Blog post. It's a late addition to the Skate Story launch party, which already had PC, PS5 (standalone, obviously), and Nintendo Switch on the guest list. I've been following this game's development for a while, and I gotta say, this is a pretty sweet deal for PlayStation Plus subscribers. Free (sort of) is always good, right?

For those not in the know, Skate Story was first unveiled way back in 2022, and the premise is, well, out there. You play as a demon made of "glass and pain," which sounds… intense. The Devil himself has tasked you with a rather unusual mission: skate to the moon and *eat* it. Yeah, you read that right. If you manage to pull that off, you get your freedom. Talk about high stakes!

Devolver's marketing copy is always a trip, and the game description doesn't disappoint. We're talking about skating fast to obliterate demons, lending a hand to a forgetful frog, and rescuing tormented souls. The journey's supposed to take you from a total noob on four wheels to a hardened skating pro. Honestly, who doesn't love a good underdog story – even if the "underdog" is a glass demon?

But wait, there's more! The game also hints at uncovering the Devil's biggest weakness. Apparently, it involves a healthy dose of humility, perseverance, and, surprisingly, "a disgustingly sweet backside tailslide." I'm not entirely sure what that means in a demonic context, but I'm definitely intrigued to find out. I'm personally looking forward to seeing how this all plays out, especially with the unique visual style. It's going to be interesting to see how well it performs on the PS5 – and even more interesting to see if I can actually pull off that "disgustingly sweet" tailslide!

So, mark your calendars, PS5 owners. Skate Story is hitting the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on launch day. Get ready to shred some demonic pavement and maybe, just maybe, take a bite out of the moon.
