Tony Hawk's Pro Skater may have some exciting new features in store for its upcoming 25th anniversary. There is a growing possibility that a new game will be announced to celebrate the occasion, as confirmed by skateboarding legend Tony Hawk himself who revealed that Activision is currently working on "something" related to the series. This news comes after the successful release of the 2021 remake of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, which left fans wondering about the future of the franchise.
While there has been no official word from Activision about the future of the series, anticipation for a possible announcement heightened when new artwork was released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the original game. Additionally, Hawk made an appearance in the game Astro Bot earlier this month, further fueling speculation about a new game. In a recent interview, Hawk revealed that he has been in talks with Activision about the series and that they are indeed working on "something" exciting.
Although Hawk did not specify whether this "something" is a new game or another remake, he did mention that it will be something that fans will truly appreciate. It is worth noting that the developer of the 2021 remake, Vicarious Visions, had plans to remake Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 before merging with Blizzard in 2022. According to Hawk, Activision was looking to hire a different developer for the third and fourth games but was not impressed with any of the pitches they received.
It is possible that Activision has found a new studio to work on another remake, but it has been quite some time since a new installment was released. The last game in the series was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 in 2015, which received negative reviews and is considered the worst in the franchise. As for when a new game could be announced, insider Jeff Grubb has suggested that a State of Play presentation will take place later this month, possibly on September 24, just before the Tokyo Game Show.
It is still uncertain if the 25th anniversary of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater will be tied to the announcement of a new game, but the series has a strong connection to PlayStation, so it is possible that something will be revealed during the State of Play. It is worth noting that Activision is now owned by Microsoft, but it is unlikely that the series will become an Xbox exclusive considering the company's recent multi-platform strategy. Fans eagerly await any updates or announcements from Activision, so stay tuned for more information.
