Lesquin, 25 August 2022 – With a release date set for 22 September 2022 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, and PC (Steam, Epic), Session: Skate Sim is now available for digital preorder. The game is still available in Early Access on Steam (85% positive rating) and on Xbox Game Preview.
Designed by skateboarders for skateboarders, Session: Skate Sim celebrates the golden age of skateboarding in the 90s. Day or night, you play as one of the game's 16 playable skateboarders and are free to explore iconic skateboarding locations. But to prove you have successfully pulled off a trick, you need to capture it on video. The game therefore includes a full-featured video editor, so you can immortalize your greatest achievements, day and night.
In Session: Skate Sim, skateboarding is just as demanding as in real life. You feel authentic sensations
as soon as you pick up the controller thanks to innovative gameplay. With the dual-stick controls,
implemented in a skateboarding game for the first time, each stick represents a foot. You need to
think about how to pull off every move and transfer your weight just like you would on an actual
skateboard.
The physics have been developed to add realism, fluidity and immersion. Just like in real life, it will
take a few hours of practice to learn the techniques and feel confident enough to pull off your first
real kickflip!
The game also has a system for completely customizing each skateboarder and deck. Players can
complete in-game challenges to earn money, which can then be spent in skateboard shops. Two
hundred items are available, including hoodies, shoes, helmets, T-shirts, and trousers from the
biggest brands, such as Fallen, Zero, GrindKing, Thankyou, HIJINX Net, Antilanta, Roger Skate CO, No-
Comply, iDabble and many others. You can also customize skateboard decks with 250 items
available, such as wheels, grip tape, and lots more. As well as making your deck look great, these
customization options also have a real effect on how you roll.

Here at creā-ture Studios, located in the surroundings of Montreal, Canada, we try to do things differently -- not because we have to, but simply because making games doesn't seem to be what it used to. Formed by guys who got sucked into the AAA industry for probably too long, we strive at getting back to what video games are to us. More than a product, a creā-tion, the achievement of an art form envisioned into something fun and interactive! Our goal is to bring high-quality, detail-oriented, entertaining, creative and original games to niche markets and to serve them the best we can with an inspiring mindset, creating games that will meet the needs, quality standards and requirements of the people who play them. At the end of the day, it needs to be legit and fun. For more information, visit http://www.crea-turestudios.com.
