While the future of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater is still unclear, Skate Story looks like it could very much appeal to the same audience. The game does benefit from an atmospheric soundtrack in the form of psychedelic beats by Blood Cultures, however, it’s possibly the only part of the game that is not personally handled by its lone creator. Skate Story is mostly developed by a single person, Sam Eng. While skating through this vividly colored plain of reality, players can destroy other demons and save innocent souls from the unenviable fate of staying in this weird world forever.

The events of the upcoming skating game take place in the Underworld, and to escape it, the demon has to embark on an impossible quest from the Devil - to reach the Moon and swallow it. Players take the role of a demon made out of glass and pain, which isn’t much of a metaphor since the protagonist can literally crumble into small fragments after a failed trick. The latest trailer for Skate Story, shared to Twitter by Devolver Digital following the publisher's showcase, turned out to be among the most impressive videos demonstrated at Summer Game Fest.
