Publisher Headup and developer Goon Squad revealed Skatesterre during the Future Games Show: Summer Showcase 2026 on June 7. The arcade skateboarding game is inspired by classic skate titles from the genre's golden era. Players control Dutch skater Sterre Meijer, known as surfsterre, as they complete missions and chase high scores across streets and parks filled with rails, ramps, and hidden lines. The game emphasizes easy-to-learn, hard-to-master controls with a deep combo system that links kickflips, grabs, manuals, and grinds. A trailer showed tricks on various courses, board skins, and player appearance options, including what the announcement described as sexy options. Skatesterre is scheduled for release on PC via Steam.
