Fueling the fire of speculation surrounding a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater remake, Singapore's rating board has listed "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4" for release in 2025. This rumored remake, encompassing the next two mainline entries in the series, is reportedly slated for a wide array of platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
While official confirmation remains elusive, a countdown timer within Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 hints at an impending announcement, ticking down to March 4, 2025. Adding further intrigue, Tony Hawk himself revealed on Mythical Kitchen that he's been in discussions with Activision, working on a project he describes as something fans will truly appreciate.
The success of the 2020 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 remake made a sequel focusing on games 3 & 4 seem inevitable. However, Activision's 2021 absorption of Vicarious Visions, the original remake developer, into Blizzard presented a significant hurdle. This acquisition shifted Vicarious Visions' focus to Blizzard projects, leaving the future of the THPS remake uncertain.
According to Tony Hawk, plans to develop THPS 3+4 were underway even until the release of the 1+2 remake. However, after Vicarious Visions' integration, Activision sought out other developers, ultimately unsatisfied with the proposals received. As Tony Hawk explained in a 2022 Twitch livestream, Activision's lack of confidence in alternative studios stalled the project.
The mystery remains: who is developing this seemingly imminent Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 remake? The Singaporean ratings board lists Activision as both publisher and developer. All eyes are on March 4th for potential answers.
