‘Skateboating’ game Wave Break launches first for Stadia this summer

“Skateboating” game Wave break will launch first for Stadia this summer for $29.99, developer Funktronic Labs announced.

“It’s been way too long since a good skateboarding game like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater came out, hasn’t it?” said Funktronic Labs co-founder Eddie Lee in a press release. “Look, we all know everyone needs a fun arcade skating game in life, but what we didn’t know is that you can do skateboarding tricks on boats too. And thus, Wave Break.”

Wave Break is also planned for release on PC via Steam.

Here is an overview of the game, via Funktronic Labs:

Whether you want to rack up points in Trick Attack or shoot your friends’ Boaty McBoatface off in Deathmatch is up to you. Various playable characters with unlimited* customization potential.
