Two trains of thought:

Number one, the cover photo looks like horse shit and EA NEVER releases cover art or any information to retailers like that this early. They would have already been marketing the game before the cover art was even finished most likely. We used to premiere the cover art for the previous Skates here on Fluckit when we had an actual fancy homepage.

Other number 2 train of thought, all this EA Instagram Skate 4 non-sense is fabricated and this leak is fabricated all by EA to build hype for an impending Skate 4 announcement HOLY SHIT BOARD THE HYPE TRAIN.

Yeah... I'm going with number 1.
