We may have some sour news for those of you who have been anticipating the release of Skater XL, as Easy Day Studios has announced that the upcoming skateboarding title has been pushed back, and will not be meeting its original launch date.
Skater XL was originally expected to launch on the 7th of July for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC(Steam). The good news is, however, that the game has only been pushed back by a few weeks, and will now be launching on the 28th of the same month.
While Skater XL is now releasing on the 28th of July, we do have some disappointing news for Nintendo Switch owners, as Easy Day Studios has revealed that the release date for the handheld version of the game has been delayed a little bit further, but the developers do reassure players that the new official date will be revealed in the coming weeks.
As per Easy Day Studios' announcement, the decision to delay Skater XL was made for reasons beyond the studios' control, but they will be sharing unreleased content in the weeks leading up to the game's new official launch date, and they have also apologised for any inconveniences this delay may have caused; thankfin fans for their support.
