Nintendo revealed yesterday, during their Indie World presentation, that Glass Bottom Games'
Skatebird will also be releasing for the Nintendo Switch — with an incredibly charming trailer that showed off this new title's gameplay .
Judging by the trailer alone, which is actually not even a minute long, we can already tell that
Skatebird is heavily based on the classic
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series developed by Activision, except with a wide variety of birds that make the game look even more fun than the gameplay already suggests.
While the trailer doesn't give us an official release date for the game, we do know that it is expected to release at some point
late in 2020. Thanks to Glass Bottom Games Founder Megan Fox(no, not the actress), we do know that the game will be releasing for the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC(Steam); sadly, a PlayStation 4 version will not be released.
According to Fox, they are a tiny outfit and had to draw the line somewhere, since they can't release the game on every platform. Regardless, it does look like the game will be a lot of fun for those who get the chance to play it, especially for skateboarding fans who are still holding their breath for a new
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater title.
You're a lonely lil' bird, and your Big Friend has hung up their board for good. Their job sucks, and lately, they're barely ever home to play with you. You're gonna fix all that with the power of being a chill little skateboarding bird. You may be tiny, but the more you skate, the more following you get, the more the world of bird skating will open up. Birds will come check out your park, help you find more parks, and together you'll (somehow) fix Big Friend's life! Above all else, skate birds try their best!
Skatebird is expected to release for the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC(Steam) late in 2020.
