EA and Black Box have today revealed that a demo for Skate 3 is set to hit both Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network on April 15th.

Allowing players to get a taste of the University District within the new skater’s paradise of Port Calverton, those that download the demo will be able to enjoy a series of both single and multiplayer challenges that are set to include Domination, Own the Lot and Hall of Meat.

Alongside this, players will also be able to utilise the new Skate.School featuring Coach Frank to either bring them up to speed or practice their skateboard skills. It doesn’t stop there either as you will also be able to sample the brand new object dropper tool by being provided with a selection of 24 different items to tweak and alter within the University District to personalise your demo experience. You are also able to capture your best tricks within the in-game Replay Editor, to then upload your footage to the ever popular Skate.Reel.

Skate 3 is set to be available for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 across North America on May 11th, with a worldwide release following on May 14th.
