Tony Hawk’s 3 & 4 remasters look likely, as teaser website reveals secrets
The next Tony Hawk game will be revealed on March 4
Marketing for the next Tony Hawk’s game has kicked into gear, after the series’ official website began counting down to a reveal.
The countdown appeared on TonyHawkTheGame.com on Friday, following earlier teases in a Call of Duty update. The countdown will end on Tuesday, March 4, presumably when Activision announces a new title or remaster.
However, it looks likely the reveal is a remaster, since the phrase ‘thps-3-4-countdown’ was reportedly discovered in the website’s code, before being removed.
Iron Galaxy, the studio behind the PC version of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, is also named on the website. The studio recently worked on Killer Instinct and Rumblevese, in addition to co-developing remastered Crash and Spyro trilogies.
A new Tony Hawk game has been teased numerous times in recent months, the most recent coming earlier this week, when pro skater Tyshawn Jones stated on a podcast that he was going to feature in an upcoming remaster.
A more explicit tease appeared on Thursday, when Call of Duty’s latest update added a map featuring a skate park, including distinctive Tony Hawk logos and the March 4 date.
The last Tony Hawk Pro Skater game was 2020’s remake of the original two entries. Tony Hawk claimed in 2022 that a second collection of remakes following Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 was planned, until developer Vicarious Visions was absorbed into Activision.
“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.”
