'Session: Skate Sim' Passes the Two Million Players Mark, Paris Map Being Added Later This Month

Session: Skate Sim is a skateboarding sim entirely focused on creativity and freedom of expression, nothing else!

Inspired by the golden era of skateboarding, the early 90s and early 2000, Session's primary goal is to make you experience what skateboarding really is; an incredible sport where there are no other goals other than expressing your creativity and achieving success through hard work, perseverance and bits of madness for no one else other than yourself.

Sporting dual stick controls that mirror the movement of each foot, executing tricks feels as intuitive as it would in your local park, serving up the most authentic-feeling skateboarding in a video game. Included in the demo is a tutorial and outdoor skatepark to get you started. Will it be tough at first? Yeah. Will you fall face-first down a flight of stairs? Who hasn’t? It’s all about the journey, so when you land that first kickflip out of a grind, you’ll feel invincible!

So, what’s Session all about? Just like skateboarding IRL, it’s about the freedom to express yourself. Whether you’re all about perfecting that one elusive move, or have a sick line planned out for your next tape, you set your own goals in Session. Progression simply comes from honing your street chops. But what are skills if you can’t show them off to the rest of the world? With Session, creā-ture offers up the tools needed to create and share your tightest content with skaters around the world.

Whether you have no idea what goofy and mongo mean, or have a laser flip or two under your belt, Session’s here to remind you why you fell in love with the sport or give you a reason to fall for the first time (again, literally).

Launched in September 2022, NACON and creā-ture Studios are pleased to announce that Session: Skate Sim has now built up a player community of over 2 million of players!

To mark the occasion, the development team is unveiling the forthcoming additional content celebrating a city on which all eyes will be focused this summer: Paris, the capital of fashion and luxury, but also of skate spots!

Players will be able to discover or rediscover the iconic locations of the City of Light, including the Trocadéro esplanade and staircases, the ramps and pyramids of Place de la République, as well as the banks of the Seine.

This additional content will be released on 18 July 2024.

The studio is planning to continue to actively support the game, through regular new updates and further additional content.

Key Features:

  • All the genuine skateboarding sensations:  realism, immersion and difficulty just like when you first learn to skate... enough to delight skateboard fans.
  • Innovative gameplay: With the dual stick controls, each stick represents one of your feet. You have to think about each movement so you can manage and transfer your weight just like in real life.
  • Official content that will continue to be extended:  currently, 4 pro skaters are available, and the game integrates iconic clothing and skateboard brands that are genuine references for all skateboarders
  • Legendary locations selected by the game's creators: Black Hubbas (New York), Brooklyn Banks (New York), at a 1:1 scale.
  • An ultra-comprehensive video tool: because you need video to prove you've pulled off a perfect stunt, the game has an integrated video editor that includes different filters, several types of cameras, and lots more options that you can explore in-game.

Session: Skate Sim is available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (SteamEpic Games Store).
