Update: Upcoming Skate Video Game Looks Promising

If you came here to check up on Skate 4, sorry, no news on that front. They’re still working on it with no updates since last summer, but we’re not giving up hope. We can’t.

But if you’re in the mood for something very different, OlliOlli World is set to drop on 2/8/22 for Nintendo Switch. The creators of the game had a great chat with NME the other day, talking about how this installment focuses more on accessibility and inclusion than its predecessors. The whimsical 2D graphics with a bit of an early 2000’s Adventure Time vibe might not be the most realistic, but somehow OlliOlli World taps into the essence of skating. If the trailer is any indication, this is going to be a fun one.

And speaking of great video games, DC’s latest episode of NorthUnda with Aleka Lang features some sick graphics – uh, we mean, video editing – in this game-inspired, very 90’s clip. Have a peek.

Thunder Trucks Welcomes Hermann Stene in their New Part

Watch Hermann Stene’s insane tricks in this Thunder Trucks’ welcome video now playing at the Thrasher Magazine Channels.

This Norwegian skater started skating at the age of eight and became a part of the Norwegian National Skateboarding Team in 2018.

Stene, now almost 30, has been showing his skills for close to 15 years now, and there is no better way to show off his skills with this beautifully filmed video.

Amazingly, Stene has never gone pro, whether that is bad luck or age bias, there is no denying the talent.

Oh and watch out at 1:33 for one of the sweetest frontside kickflips you’ll see this year.
