Skateboarding has experienced a bit of a resurgence in the land of video games over the past few years. For example, in just a few weeks the Birdman himself is bringing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 to the Nintendo Switch.
If you're looking for something a little different though, you might want to check out SkateBIRD - a game that's quite literally about birds (or "birbs") riding around on skateboards. This "avian action sports game" from Glass Bottom Games has now officially locked in a release date - it'll be dropping in on 12th August for $19.99 USD or your regional equivalent.
In SkateBIRD you'll shred micro-sized skateparks which turn everyday objects into obstacles that you can grind, flip, flutter and spin on. There are over 30 species of birds to choose from, and there'll be challenges to complete on each level to unlock new gear and more. Glass Bottom Games founder, Megan Fox, says it's a game that's all about doing your best.
We've got a good feeling about this one, how about you? Leave a comment down below.

Untitled Goose Game. Fight Crab. SkateBird. What next? Aadvark Mountain Rescue? (I do like the look of this game ^^)

Dang, I’m definitely buying this game if Megan Fox is the founder of the devs. Loved her in Jennifer’s Body 😂
I'm down why not
I nearly forgot about this game. The premise is hilarious.
@nessisonett Completely different person. https://www.linkedin.com/in/meganfox

I really, really hope this will be good.
Missed chance to do a Surfing Bird game.
I love how absolutely adorable this game is. Definitely on my radar.
@nessisonett Meh, on the internet you can never be 100% sure of what are jokes and what's serious. 🤷♂️
A humming bird wearing a cute little hat while riding a skate board? Count me in!
That actually looks pretty fun!
Had my eye on this one for a while. Looks fun!
SkateBird for SOTY
Oh yay! Ive been looking out for this since its initial announcement. I thought it had maybe been canned.
I have been waiting for news of this
Played the demo for this last E3 on Xbox and it was terrible. However it was possibly Alpha. Hopefully it has improved a lot since the idea is cool.
Neat, been looking forward to this one
I really want this. I just hope the music is good.
I’m sure there has to be a bird somewhere already figuring out the skateboard (on her own)
@iuli I was riding the subway in Toronto once when I saw a pigeon suddenly fly off the roof of a train arriving at a station which had a very large, prominent exit to the outdoors.
I thought, "Now what could motivate a pigeon to roost up there for even a moment?"
On the return trip, I saw multiple pigeons at my departing station flying above the train roof and thought, "No...". Yes - the pigeons have learned to ride the train across an entire borough.
I won't even tell you about the raccoons in that town...
Bird bird bird, bird is the word!
