Tony Hawk claims he is ‘talking to Activision again’

Tony Hawk has teased anniversary plans for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, which turns 25 this year, and has said that he’s talking to Activision about the franchise.

Speaking on Mythical Kitchen, the legendary skater said that there is “something” planned for the anniversary, but wouldn’t be drawn on specifics.

“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,” Hawk said.

“It will be something the fans will truly appreciate.”

Tony Hawk claimed in 2022 that a second collection of remakes following Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 was planned, until Vicarious Visions was absorbed into Activision entirely.

“That was the plan, even up until the release date of [1 and 2],” Hawk said. “We were doing 3 and 4, and then Vicarious got kind of absorbed, and then they were looking for other developers, and then it was over.”

He added: “The truth of it is [Activision] were trying to find somebody to do 3 and 4 but they just didn’t really trust anyone the way they did Vicarious.

“So they took other pitches from other studios, like, ‘what would you do with the THPS title?’ And they didn’t like anything they heard, and then that was it.

“Who knows? Maybe when the dust settles, we’ll figure it out. You never know. I never would’ve thought we were going to do 1+2, 20 years later.”
