EA has formed a new studio to develop the next Skate game. On Wednesday, the publisher announced the existence of Full Circle, which, like the former developer of Skate Black Box, will be based in Vancouver, Canada. EA brought in Daniel McCulloch, who was previously the head of Xbox live at Microsoft, to lead Full Circle as CEO. He will be joined by two series veterans, Deran Chung and Chris “Cuz” Parry, who EA says will serve as the game’s creative leadership.

“We are working on the next evolution of Skate and are ready to deliver an experience that will encompass and reinforce everything our community found special about the previous game,” the developer said on his website. Based on the positions Full Circle is trying to fill, the title is still in the early stages of development. EA hasn’t announced a release date for the next Skate game, or what platforms you’ll be able to play it on.
