A Letter from SSX Creative Director Todd Batty to SSX Fans
Posted by EA SPORTS at 10:59AM on Wednesday, December, 21, 2011
To all our SSX Fans,
I wanted to let you all know firsthand that we recently decided to take a couple of extra weeks to give our game the final bit of polish we think it deserves. This means that we won’t be shipping the game to you until Feb. 28 in North America and Mar. 2 in the rest of the world. We hope that given how long you have waited for SSX to come back, you won’t mind waiting just a little bit longer. J
Over the course of more than 10 years of making games I have not worked on a single project where our team did not wish, coming down the home stretch, that we could have just a bit more time. Time to do all the little things that may not be noticeable during the first hour or two playing the game, but are appreciated over the course of days, weeks, months and beyond.
SSX was one of the games that always took the time to do exactly that. There is a reason why Tricky and SSX3 are still among the highest rated games of all time, and it is because even playing them today they still stand the test of time. Our goal from Day 1 was to re-launch this amazing franchise with a new SSX game that could live up to that legacy.
We are incredibly proud of where we are today and extremely thankful for all the support that you, the community, have given us in helping to shape this game. We are making this game for you, and we want to make sure that you’ll love it.
Check out our latest video compilation of pure gameplay footage here to see how awesome the game is looking and playing!
Sincerely,
Todd Batty
Creative Director, SSX

SSX Music DLC Announcement
With your feedback in mind, the SSX dev team worked hard on the upcoming Mt. Eddie & Classic Characters DLC to bring back the classic SSX experience. They wanted the DLC to have the same feel as classic SSX titles – hence, Mt. Eddie was born; an SSX TRICKY inspired mountain with billboards and fireworks and more.

The Ladies of Mt. Eddie
Elise, Kaori and Zoe. These are not just the names of some of the most beloved women in SSX history, but some of the most popular characters we’ve had in the game full stop. These ladies have proven to be able to carve up the mountain as good as any of the men and they’ve shredded their way into our hearts.
