Flip Axis Studios, an up-and-coming indie developer known for their creativity in the XR space, has announced an exciting new VR skateboarding game. This game is set to launch on Quest 3 and SteamVR, offering the thrilling experience of skateboarding without the usual risk of injury.
Named Virtual Skate, this game stands out by giving players the unique ability to control their virtual feet directly with their hands, creating a fresh take on skateboarding games. The game also features an advanced physics-based system, allowing for board control and trick styling beyond the typical pre-programmed animations found in other titles.
Details about the game are still sparse, but the teaser does highlight an in-game recording feature. This allows players to capture epic moments and showcase the skills of friends during multiplayer sessions.
Virtual Skate is being crafted by Jon West, an industry veteran known for his co-founding role at Easy Day Studios and his work on the highly-regarded Skater XL, released in 2020. Although there isn’t a set release date yet, Flip Axis Studios has shared that it will be available “soon” for those with Quest 3 or SteamVR headsets.
For those eager to stay updated, keeping an eye on the game’s website and joining its Discord server are great ways to hear the latest announcements, including any news on store availability and potential beta testing opportunities.
