Shaun White to create skateboard title

Ubisoft has confirmed the creation of 'Shaun White Skateboarding', a video game in development with dual-sport professional athlete and two-time Olympic gold medalist, Shaun White.

Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, 'Shaun White Skateboarding' will arrive later this year.

As the first skateboarding game in the best-selling 'Shaun White' video game franchise, 'Shaun White Skateboarding' will provide what's described as "an innovative twist and fresh take on the skateboarding and action-sports genre".

"I can't describe how excited I am about the skateboard game," said White himself. "We've been working on it for a while now and it's ready to melt minds."

The first athlete to win both gold medals in skateboarding and snowboarding at the Summer and Winter X Games, Shaun White brings a unique perspective to development of video games.

"As we’ve just seen at the Olympics, Shaun is a one-of-kind action sports athlete," said Tony Key of Ubisoft. "Shaun’s enthusiasm for skateboarding shines through in this truly unique game."
