The sequel packs a number of new additions to the series, including the ability to hop off that skateboard and push objects around in an attempt to construct better trick lines.

Those that pre-order the game from unspecified North America retailers will receive a code for an unlockable "Throwback Pack," described as "a special upgrade pack that includes retro clothing, accessories and gestures."

Furthering the customization focus, a web-based Graphics Creator, due on the Skate site in December, will let users brand in-game clothing with custom designs.
