Six years and two delays later, Skate Story is finally out. On release I quickly escaped into to my dream and avoided looking at the critics. But then it started to seep through my dream. I couldn't hide much longer. Slowly, I've crawled out from under seven Moon's gleam and am smacked in the gob by the outpouring of positivity. Devolver Digital put together this accolades trailer that I'd love to share with you all. Thank you Devolver Digital, thank you Blood Cultures and John Fio, and thank you my beautiful glass players for skating with me down into the underworld.I hope we all find a shred

We sat down with Skate Story developer Sam Eng at GUMBO, a collaborative work space for NYC-based indie developers out in Brooklyn just to get his thoughts on a few things leading up to launch. But don't let that fool you. Skate Story is out now. This was just recorded prior. You know how these things go..Sam walks us through his daily work routine, the struggles of development while dealing with a skate related injury, how his relationship with artist Blood Cultures helped shape the overall game, and more!

In Skate Story, you are a demon made of glass and pain, gifted a skateboard by the Devil with a simple command: Skate to the Moon. Swallow it. Earn your freedom. These new pieces aren't just trinkets, they're souvenirs from hell's skatepark. Tools. Talismans. Drip for the damned. Now, behold what's crawled out of the smoke... THE SKATEBOARD Built for wall display, cruising, or impressing demons with your pop shuvits. Full-size. Full-vibes. Fully ready to escort you through ash, smoke, and questionable life choices.

Skate Story is one of those games that immediately caught my attention due to its striking aesthetic and ambience. Of course, a strong visual identity is not always enough to make a good game, but I am here to say that Skate Story is one of the most fun and standout experiences I had in 2025. After my 10-hour journey with Skate Story, I was left feeling impressed, as if Sam Eng had somehow made a game tailor-made to my tastes, despite being someone who doesn’t really play too many skateboarding or extreme sports titles. You are a demon, cast into the depths of hell, tasked with consuming its s

So yeah, you can now take your fragile glass demon body anywhere.SKATE STORY is launching in only 5 days! See you then.

Tapping in to say the excitement has rung through every depth and crevice of the Underworld. SKATE STORY launched its demo just a mere 6 days ago and it has already passed 50,000 downloads! Haven't jumped in yet? Well here's your reason to boot the demo up and land as many 50-50 grinds as your little heart desires. Thank you for skating.

Soon, I will eat more than one moon. But for now, both you and I can eat a single moon as a demo starter for the main course Skate Story'll ollie into our lives when it releases in December. It'll have to do, washed down with a glass skater making a stone philosopher feel some type of way by busting out sick combos. Read more

Hey everyone, today I'm so happy to announce that Skate Story is launching on December 8! Check out the trailer below as well as that ton of text below it where I chat a little bit more about the game, features and some fun facts featuring Blood Cultures.Get an early taste of the game today on PC right before Steam Next Fest goes down next week, with a playable demo. It's real. I told you it was. DID YOU KNOW? SKATE STORY is based on a true story. Yes, that’s right folks. Sure, it’s slightly dramatized for effect, but it’s all totally 100% true. Of course, names and places have been altered as

I have nothing but respect for a Steam update that promises gameplay details then quickly melts into an impressionistic tone poem about fighting the moon. Really though, what else does Skate Story need to say? We've already known how lovely it looks since not-E3 of 2022, then we found out even more about it from a demo last year. Do you want to miss out on the action of a game that made Brendy use words like "abstract rhythmodivinity" and Graham use words like "popeye's elbow". Of course you don't. Here's the new trailer.

How do you take down the Moon? You skate. Charge toward the Moon’s Front, breaking through electric barriers. Every trick you pull off lands a hit on the celestial beast. Stay close, ride fast, and mix up your moves—grinds, flips, and spins. Repetition is your enemy; stale tricks lose their bite. Keep it fresh, keep it flowing. But the Department of Death won’t make it easy. Demons lurk, ready to throw you off your line. Only sick tricks and flawless flow will keep you ahead. Boss fights are pure rhythm and motion. When the music kicks in, lock eyes with the cosmic giants. Feel the beat, keep

Taking a sec to give ya'll an update on the game, and with tremendous news, it's great to share that I won at the prestigious 15th annual Devolver Delayed Awards 2024! First off, it's an absolute honor to have been nominated, and now that my cast is off and I can properly clap for my fellow nominees, I prefer not to. This win has been a critical moment of my game development/hospital visiting career, and something I will never, ever, forget. Catch you in 2025. - Sam
