Skyline Skaters Gets Rio Update to Celebrate World Cup

Skyline Skaters is an endless runner game played on skateboards from Tactile Entertainment. The game has received a new update featuring Rio themed content including 20 new boards released in honor of the upcoming World Cup from Brazil. Check out the new trailer below to learn more.

In this adrenaline-fueled endless runner that has been downloaded 6 million times, players must avoid police capture and dangerous pitfalls between skyscrapers while trying to collect as many coins and power-ups as they can. Players can choose between four different characters - Matt, Christy, Barry and Mia - each with special abilities, such as triple jump, shield or grinding bonus. Skaters also have a choice of 25 different upgradeable skateboard types that also offer various bonuses in terms of score and how many coins can be collected. Special boards also have capabilities to increase the coin collection exponentially when skaters hit a streak of coins in-game, and others reward players based on how many friends they have. Skyline Skaters even has a special night/day cycle, which coincides with real time.
