Easy Day Studios have announced a delay in the 1.0 launch of Skater XL from Early Access, and have provided a new release date.
As stated across Steam and Twitter, the game’s original July 7th launch has been delayed, despite the developer’s best efforts “and due in part to things out of [their] control.” The latter likely refers to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and the quarantine orders.
Leading up to the game’s launch, the developers “will be showing more unreleased content and features that will be available at launch of 1.0, continuing to polish the content and features, and make Skater XL the game that you all deserve at launch.”
You can find the full rundown (via Steam) below.
