SkateBIRD Delayed, But Post-Launch Support Confirmed

SkateBIRD will not be launching on August 12 as originally planned, Glass Bottom Games confirmed. It does, however, have a new date which moves the title back to September 16th, 2021, so not too much of a delay, thankfully.

SkateBIRD is being delayed to ensure a simultaneous release across all platforms as well as updates and polish, including mission objective refinements, UI and sound improvements, a camera overhaul, and even more.

Check out the funny new trailer apologizing for the delay:

“This wasn’t an easy decision. But SkateBIRD was always a game about doing your best, and we owe it to our backers, fans, and fellow bird enthusiasts to ship the game in its best state. As a small indie studio, completing certification on multiple platforms requires plenty of extra work. Launching on September 16, 2021 lets us ramp up our efforts to ensure SkateBIRD comes to PC and consoles on the same day!”

Glass Bottom Games founder Megan Fox

Also confirmed is that SkateBIRD is receiving post-launch support, and players can look forward to “Pet the Bird Mode”, a Skate Heaven stage, and more after launch.
