EA announced Full Circle, the new studio behind the next Skate game.
Full Circle is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, and is led by Daniel McCulloch, former head of Xbox Live at Microsoft.
EA said Deran Chung and Cuz Parry, two of the creators of the original Skate games, have joined Full Circle to work on this new entry in the series.

“The fans wanted Skate to come back into existence and we want them to be involved in the development process at the launch of the game and more,” said McCulloch.
“We want them to feel like they are part of Full Circle. We want to have fun and make great games that people want to play with their friends. And we are looking for more developers to help us build attractive worlds for players to explore.”
EA announced the new Skate in June 2020, a decade after the launch of Skate 3. We don’t know anything about the game yet, although the news from the new studio is partly a hiring boost.
The inauguration of Full Circle means that EA has three significant developers in Vancouver: EA Sports, Full Circle and Respawn Entertainment, as well as EA’s core creative and technology teams.
