With the demo premiering at PAX East in Boston last month, Electronic Arts has come out and officially announced that the same demo will be appearing on Xbox Live and the Playstation Network next Thursday, April 15th.

In addition to the modes and challenges, players can learn the ropes or perfect their skills in the all-new Skate.School featuring Coach Frank. Gamers can also sample the all-new object dropper by using 24 different items to tweak and alter the University District to create a personalized demo experience. Once players have that perfect trick nailed, they can capture the moment with the in-game Replay Editor and upload footage of themselves with the Skate series' immensely popular Skate.Reel.

SKATE 3 is the definitive co-op skateboarding experience as players build the ultimate team to take on unique team challenges, compete against rival crews online and shred the streets. In the end, SKATE 3 takes skateboarding to a new level with more tricks, improved off board actions, and gnarly Hall of Meat carnage.

Skate 3 rides into store shelves on May 11th, 2010 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 in North America and worldwide on May 14th, 2010.
