PlayStation Plus members are in for a bit of a surprise today because a new day-one release is dropping for all subscribers. Following up on more games than usual for December's Essential games, PS Plus is ending the year with a bang by also adding this incredibly hyped game on December 8.
As confirmed on the official PlayStation Blog, Skate Story is a day-one release on PS Plus. The game, which is a unique approach to classic arcade skaters like the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series, takes players on a surreal — and sometimes horrific — journey that involves a deal with the Devil.
In Skate Story, your demon character is "made of glass and pain," and you learn to perform a variety of tricks. Along the way, you have to complete challenges and even take down bosses. Described as "celestial skateboarding," Skate Story promises to be unlike any other skating game you've played before.
While recent simulators like Skate 4 have launched this year, alongside Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 for a more arcade-like experience, nothing quite like Skate Story has shown up. The pinball level in THPS 3+4 may come the closest. But it's that kind of originality...
