SKATE 3 Demo Hits Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network

Black Box, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio has announced that the demo for the highly-anticipated SKATE 3 will hit Xbox Live Marketplace and the PlayStation Network on April 15th, 2010. The demo will give players a taste of the University District in the all-new skater’s paradise of Port Carverton. Players will shred through a series of single and multiplayer challenges including Domination, Own the Lot, and the bone-crushing Hall of Meat.

In addition to the modes and challenges, players can learn the ropes or perfect their skills in the all-new Skate.School featuring Coach Frank. Gamers can also sample the all-new object dropper by using 24 different items to tweak and alter the University District to create a personalized demo experience. Once players have that perfect trick nailed, they can capture the moment with the in-game Replay Editor and upload footage of themselves with the Skate series’ immensely popular Skate.Reel.

SKATE 3 is the definitive co-op skateboarding experience as players build the ultimate team to take on unique team challenges, compete against rival crews online and shred the streets. In the end, SKATE 3 takes skateboarding to a new level with more tricks, improved off board actions, and gnarly Hall of Meat carnage.

Here is the trailer:

SKATE 3 hits stores in North America on May 11th, 2010 and worldwide on May 14th, 2010. It is available on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. The game is rated “T” for Teen by the ESRB and “16+” by PEGI.
