Full Circle's Studio Logo[/caption] “The fans wished Skate back into existence and we want them to feel involved in the process from development to game launch and beyond. We want them to feel like they are a part of Full Circle,” McCulloch said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “We’re all about having fun and making great games that people want to play with their friends. And, we’re looking for more developers to help us build compelling worlds for players to explore.” The new studio is currently hiring for various positions including artists, designers, and engineers, and while it's based in Vancouver, is "embracing a geo-diverse team" with members involved in development "around the globe." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/untitled-skate-game-announcement-trailer-ea-play-2020"] Full Circle joins EA Sports and Respawn Entertainment as the third EA Studio in the Canadian city. Unfortunately, there's no new word on development on the next Skate thus far, or any additional details about the vision for the upcoming game, but late last year we learned the new Skate may have a focus on user-generated content. At the time, EA's Andrew Wilson discussed how the new Skate was in "very early development" but that trends within the skateboarding world could fit into the scope of the new game. "You take a game like Skate, and while skateboarding in and of itself has tremendous appeal to a huge, global audience, there’s another secular trend that’s happening inside our industry around user-generated content, open-world, and interaction,” Wilson said last June. “So for many people, you think about skating as a starting point that has appeal, but you start to build in user-generated content, exploration, and community on top of that and that expands the opportunity exponentially."
