EA is set to release skate. patch 0.29.5 tomorrow, December 15 focusing on bug fixes for issues that surfaced after the launch of Season 2, along with a handful of gameplay improvements. For those who may have missed it, the Season 2 update added new skateable locations, brand content, soundtrack updates and a new skate.Pass that became available earlier this month. Check out the patch notes below.
General Improvements
- Replaced the Peach Puree Cargoes cosmetic with the Brown Tie-Dye Jeans in the Down Low Product Box.
Gameplay Improvements
- Routine maintenance of San Van’s infrastructure has had some unexpected results. Liability details can be found on page seven of your ‘Welcome to the Rip Initiative’ introductory booklet.
- Community Parks will now consist of natural wood tones to be more visually appealing.
Developer’s Note: The aesthetic of Community Parks will change to natural wood tones on December 15. From December 16–January 14, the aesthetic will change again for Winter Rollstice, our holiday event. After the event concludes, Community Parks will revert back to their new default wood tones.
UI Improvements
- We’ve made an update to the UI of the Quick Drop menu, adding a new category called Interactive. This category is where items like the bouncy Quick Drop umbrella (previously located under the Props category) will be moving forward.
