Headup and developer Goon Squad have confirmed a firm release date for Skatesterre, the arcade-style skateboarding game starring Dutch skateboarder Sterre Meijer — better known in the scene as Surfsterre.
The title will launch digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide on 13 August 2026.
Skatesterre is presented as a fast-paced, score-driven skate game that aims to recapture elements of the golden era of arcade skateboarding.
Players control Sterre Meijer as they chain combos, land tricks and pursue high-score runs across large urban playgrounds packed with rails, ramps, gaps and hidden lines.
The publisher says the levels are designed to reward experimentation and mastery, with a trick roster intended to support long combo strings and stylish play.
Headup and Goon Squad outlined the game's key features ahead of release, highlighting the following:
- Fast-paced arcade skateboarding gameplay
- Extensive trick lists designed for combination and mastery
- Mission-based objectives across multiple large levels
- Unlockable fashion items and character outfits
- Environments dense with rails, ramps and secrets
- Playable protagonist Sterre Meijer (Surfsterre)
- A soundtrack of underground skate punk and skate rock evocative of late-1990s and early-2000s skate culture
In journalistic terms, the teams behind Skatesterre say the experience focuses on chaining tricks and refining runs, backed by a high-energy soundtrack meant to capture the attitude of late-90s and early-2000s skate scenes.
The publisher described the audio direction as featuring underground skate punk and skate rock tracks that frame the game's arcade approach.
Skatesterre's launch on 13 August 2026 will be digital-only at global release, available through the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch 2.
With its emphasis on score chasing, mission-based objectives and a stylized soundtrack, the title targets players who enjoy compact, high-skill arcade skating experiences.
