Haahuile Entertainment launched 'Newbie: Become a Skateboarder' on Steam Early Access on July 1. The game uses full physics simulation for both the skateboard and the character, with ragdoll reactions always active and no fixed animations. Players skate around a small town filled with obstacles and rails. The developers say even a simple kickflip is meant to feel satisfying, and the realistic feedback encourages players to try again after falling. Planned features include a replay function, statistics, leaderboards, challenges, a spot editor, character and board customization, and game modes. The Early Access version is in pre-alpha stage. The price is 530 yen, with a 40% discount running until July 12. A full release is scheduled for November 2027.
