Rumors have circulated about Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, a remaster of the third and fourth games, being in development. The logo may offer further evidence – it resembles that of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, though the figure in question is performing a different trick. Whatever the case, stay tuned in the coming weeks for more details.

Following the success of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, Vicarious Visions (now Blizzard Albany) allegedly pitched Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 as its next project. Activision rejected this in favor of the studio working on Call of Duty titles like Black Ops Cold War and Warzone. It also provided support on Diablo 2: Resurrected and Diablo 4.

Looks like a teaser for something related to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater has been found in Black Ops 6’s Grind MP map!

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Tony Hawk himself recently took to Instagram with a commemorative post about the same. At the end of the caption accompanying his post, Hawk wrote, “I’m not supposed to tease anything else about the future of the series; but there will be a future.”

This isn’t the first time Hawk has teased the skateboarding series’ future of late. As recently as earlier this month, he said that he was “talking to Activision again” and that they were “working on something” that “the fans will truly appreciate”. Read more on that through here.

As per past reports, a remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 was in development at Vicarious Visions, the studio that developed 2020’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, though the project was shelved after the studio merged with Blizzard Entertainment.

On Mythical Kitchen’s latest episode of Last Meal, pro skater Tony Hawk revealed that he had spoken to Activision recently. Regarding the franchise’s future, he said, “I wish I could tell you more, but I can tell you that I’ve been talking to Activision again. We’re working on something. It will be something the fans will truly appreciate.”

Of course, what that “something” could be is anyone’s guess. Remakes of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 (reportedly pitched and rejected in favor of having the developer support Call of Duty)? Remasters of the other title? A brand new mainline title? Time will tell, but an announcement may well be a ways off.

In the meantime, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is still a great way to experience the franchise, whether recreating the best levels from the first two titles or introducing mechanics from the latter titles. It’s available for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Check out our review here.

Following the Activision-Blizzard deal, Xbox boss Phil Spencer has cited his desire to work on franchises from his childhood. Inevitably that leads to the question: What other titles could be brought back for the Xbox Series X/S generation? Let’s take a look at 15 of them here.

Scalebound

Set in a fantasy world with dragons, it saw protagonist Drew having a massive dragon named Thuban by his side. Along with functioning independently, one could also give commands to Thuban while fighting. It was also possible to directly control the dragon and enter Berserker mode for increased power. Announced in 2014 as an Xbox One exclusive, the hack and slash combat combined with battles on a massive scale looked promising, especially with up to four players in co-op.

Originally slated for release in late 2016, Scalebound would be delayed to the next year and subsequently cancelled in January 2017. Studio head Atsushi Inaba felt that “both sides failed” when it came to the cancellation and that it “didn’t do all of the things that we needed to do as a developer.” PlatinumGames has expressed interest in returning to the project – especially since Microsoft still owns the IP. It may not happen any time soon but never say never.

Remember when the Tony Hawk games were great? There was a time when every single release was practically amazing, garnering great review scores and selling in the millions. But as is the case with, well, all Activision franchises, it was run into the ground, and some time during the last generation, the series died an undignified death.

Or so we thought. Because, you see, the franchise may be on track for a revival next year, if Tony Hawk himself is to be believed. This is what he just tweeted earlier:

‘I’m currently working with Activision on a console game for 2015 (along with a new mobile game). I think fans of THPS series will be hyped.’

That does sound intriguing and interesting.

There was absolutely nothing else like Tony Hawk on the market, which made its death that much more painful. If Activision can successfully revive the franchise, a lot of people I know will be very, very happy.

It’s been known for some time that Activision is working on a new Tony Hawk game, and now the former professional skater has confirmed that a new game in the franchise is indeed being worked on and that it will be out exclusively for mobile devices.

“We’re working on a mobile game now,” Tony Hawk told Bloomberg. “We’re working on a game for mobile devices this year.

“We’ve never gone exclusively in that direction yet so I’m excited because, with the amount of time people are spending on their phones and their tablets playing games, we’ve never had our own game in that space so I’m excited to provide one finally.”

Considering that this will be the last ever Tony Hawk game, it seems strange that Activision has chosen to go in this direction, but it’s still an interesting decision.

Stay tuned and we’ll keep you updated as more info comes our way.
