Why?....... just why?
Ubisoft announced Shaun White Skateboarding today, a new skating game developed by Ubisoft's Montreal studio. This is the first skateboarding game in the Shaun White videogame franchise.
"I can't describe how excited I am about the skateboard game," said Shaun White. "We've been working on it for a while now and it's ready to melt minds."
This new skateboarding game promises to provide an "innovative twist" and "fresh take" on the genre. Though mostly known for his snowboarding skills, Shaun White is the first athlete to win both gold medals in skateboarding and snowboarding at the Summer and Winter X Games.
"As we've just seen at the Olympics, Shaun is a one-of-kind action sports athlete," said Tony Key, U.S. senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. "Shaun's enthusiasm for skateboarding shines through in this truly unique game."
Shaun White Skateboarding will be released this holiday for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and Wii.
