WAYPOINT partnered with leading publishers like Konami and Bandai Namco to launch official video game skateboard collections, blending fan passion with premium collectible design. These video game skateboards function as cultural artifacts—bridging gaming and street culture through high-quality, fully functional decks.
Leveraging its full-service white label gaming ecommerce platform, WAYPOINT managed the entire pipeline—from product design and licensing to storefront development, fulfillment, and operations. The result: authentic, collector-grade gaming skateboards inspired by iconic franchises like Silent Hill and Tekken 8.
Each collection was carefully crafted for specific audiences—horror fans, design collectors, and style-driven gamers—transforming in-game assets into rideable, display-worthy art.
With its specialized gaming ecommerce infrastructure, WAYPOINT empowers publishers with direct-to-consumer control, optimized UX, and seamless global logistics—delivering both brand integrity and fan engagement on a global scale.
These skateboards prove that gaming IPs can evolve into tangible, lifestyle-ready experiences, expanding franchise universes in bold, fan-first ways.
WAYPOINT’s approach to video game ecommerce goes beyond merchandise—it’s about storytelling through design. These pieces aren’t just collectibles; they’re narrative artifacts that visually honor iconic franchises like Silent Hill and Tekken 8. Each deck is crafted as a functional collectible—meant to be displayed, ridden, or admired—blending game mythology with the aesthetics of streetwear and skate culture.
Bridging Gaming Worlds and Street Culture
Gaming and skateboarding share deep cultural DNA: niche communities obsessed with style, lore, and authenticity. WAYPOINT taps into this overlap to create custom-designed skateboards that stay true to the source IP while meeting the expectations of modern collectors.
The Silent Hill series features psychological horror motifs—fog-drenched visuals, VHS textures, and symbolic elements like the Halo of the Sun—all developed in close collaboration with Konami.
The Tekken 8 collection channels the game’s arcade energy, with bold typography, character-driven layouts, and distressed textures that echo the visual language of classic fighting games.
WAYPOINT approaches skateboards not as merch, but as narrative design objects. Each board begins with deep creative research, exploring the symbols, characters, and visual language that define a franchise. From moodboards to mockups, every detail is crafted to resonate with fans and meet collector-grade standards.
These aren’t print-on-demand products—they’re editorial-level artifacts, blurring the line between poster art and functional gear.
All designs are fully licensed and developed in partnership with publishers like Konami and Bandai Namco. WAYPOINT manages the entire licensing pipeline—from asset sourcing to brand approvals—ensuring IP integrity while delivering high-impact creative.
The result: skateboards that function as both art and commerce, extending the game world into fans’ real lives and unlocking new IP activation channels.
Each campaign is supported by a custom-built ecommerce storefront, tailored to the franchise’s tone and aesthetic. From ambient UX for Silent Hill to high-energy visuals for Tekken 8, every product page is designed to convert while telling a story.
Key features include:
High-res product photography & 3D renders
Story-driven design breakdowns
Scarcity-driven UI (limited runs, countdowns)
Mobile-first, fast-checkout architecture
WAYPOINT also provides real-time analytics, CRO testing, and performance optimization—ensuring each launch is both immersive and effective.
What sets these skateboards apart is the creative depth behind each design:
Silent Hill decks feature minimalist horror aesthetics—distressed textures, symbolic iconography (e.g., Red Pyramid Thing, Midwich Elementary), and haunting compositions like “Hell Descent”.
Tekken 8 boards explode with arcade energy—bold character art, layered motion effects, and color palettes that echo the game’s updated visual style.
These aren’t just collectibles—they’re display pieces, fashion props, and fan tributes. Positioned at the intersection of gaming, design, and youth subculture, WAYPOINT’s skateboards redefine what licensed video game merch can be.
WAYPOINT brought each skateboard design to life through a meticulous, multi-phase production process. Collaborating with specialty manufacturers, they produced limited-run decks using premium maple wood and industrial-grade heat-transfer printing—far beyond standard print-on-demand.
Every detail was crafted with precision:
Pantone-matched inks
Durability-tested finishes
Laser-etched edition numbers
These are fully functional skateboards, engineered to meet collector-grade standards—a fusion of video game merchandise and real-world utility.
Each deck was packaged like a premium collectible:
Custom-printed sleeves
Branded dust bags
Lore cards tied to the game’s universe
This elevated unboxing experience boosted perceived value and drove organic social sharing, turning logistics into a branding opportunity.
WAYPOINT built dedicated ecommerce storefronts for each collection, merging narrative design with conversion-optimized UX:
Silent Hill: Fog overlays, cryptic copy, minimalist UI
Tekken 8: Bold typography, dynamic visuals, character-driven layouts
Each page featured:
High-res product photography
Lifestyle imagery & embedded trailers
Limited-stock counters & countdown timers
These weren’t just product pages—they were immersive digital brand spaces.

WAYPOINT’s support team is trained in gaming culture, not just logistics. Agents understand franchise lore—from Pyramid Head to the Mishima bloodline—and provide multilingual support via email and chat.
With real-time tracking updates, proactive delay alerts, and satisfaction follow-ups, the support experience builds trust and reinforces WAYPOINT’s position as a premium gaming ecommerce partner.
WAYPOINT encourages fans to share their purchases, turning each product into a social touchpoint:
Silent Hill buyers posted wall-mounted boards, tagging Konami and the store.
Tekken 8 fans created unboxing videos paired with in-game clips.
Email flows include post-purchase follow-ups, early access offers, and fan content highlights—transforming one-time buyers into engaged community members.
Each campaign generates valuable insights for publishers:
Buyer geographies and platform preferences
Product usage trends (displayed vs. ridden)
Segmented DTC audience lists by franchise and behavior
This is more than ecommerce—it’s fanbase development with measurable ROI, aligned with long-term licensing and brand growth strategies.
The success of the Silent Hill and Tekken 8 campaigns lies in the end-to-end fan experience. From immersive storefronts to premium packaging and post-sale engagement, every touchpoint reinforces brand value.

Support agents are briefed on each campaign’s IP and fan expectations. For Tekken 8, they were ready to answer lore-specific questions about featured characters—building rapport and fueling post-sale advocacy.
WAYPOINT continuously improves through data:
Heatmaps showed fans lingered on “behind-the-design” sections—leading to expanded storytelling blocks.
Email A/B testing during Silent Hill’s launch boosted open rates by 14%.
Cart analytics revealed shipping friction, prompting the addition of delivery calculators.
These insights refine future drops across product, platform, and marketing—making WAYPOINT’s video game ecommerce system smarter with every launch.
