After plenty of whispers and speculation, today Activision confirmed what we were all hoping for: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 are back, and getting remade from the ground up.
The upcoming combined remake will feature new skaters (so, professional skateboarder Tyshawn Jones, who let slip he was part of the game ahead of today’s announcement), as well as “gnarlier tricks, an even sicker soundtrack, and, for the first time in 10 years – brand-new parks”. That soundtrack will include songs from the original games such as Ace of Spades by Motorhead, as well as new tracks which “capture the spirit of modern skate culture”.
The game will also boast cross-platform online multiplayer for up to eight skaters.
“Developed with attention to detail by Iron Galaxy Studios and in collaboration with Tony Hawk and Activision, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 picks up seamlessly right where the critically acclaimed Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 game left off,” the official blurb reads.
