EA’s Black Box has today announced it will be partnering with leading global action sports footwear and apparel brand, etnies, to bring their Goofy vs. Regular (GvR) skateboarding contest to Skate 2. In-game players will lead a team of goofy foot or regular pros as they compete in the ultimate team competition.
“The Skate franchise has always been committed to showcasing the spirit and soul of skateboard culture,” said executive producer, Scott Blackwood. “The etnies GvR competition celebrates the fun, creativity and talent in skateboarding today. Featuring the event as one of the main competitions in Skate 2 felt like a natural integration and a perfect fit.”
Skate 2 is set five years after the original title, in which time a disaster has left San Vanelona in ruins. Mongocorp rebuilt the city but their protection of private property has hurt the once thriving skate population. Equipped with a bag of tricks, players must rebuild their career and revive the New San Vanelona skate scene.
Skate 2 is in development for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and is scheduled for release in 2009.
