Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 25th Anniversary: Something's Brewing!
Legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk has confirmed that Activision is working on a project to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the iconic Tony Hawk's Pro Skater franchise. This exciting news comes as the series approaches its anniversary this month.
A Collaboration in the Works
In a recent appearance on YouTube's Mythical Kitchen, Hawk revealed the collaboration with Activision, stating, "We're working on something—This is the first time I've said that publicly." While specifics remain undisclosed, Hawk assures fans that the project will be something they'll truly appreciate.
A History of Success and Setbacks
The original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater launched on September 29, 1999, and propelled the franchise to immense success. Numerous sequels followed, and a remastered collection of THPS 1+2 was released in 2020. While plans for remastered versions of Pro Skater 3 and 4 were underway, the project was ultimately canceled due to the closure of Vicarious Visions.
Anniversary Celebrations and Speculation
The official Tony Hawk's Pro Skater social media accounts have already begun celebrating the 25th anniversary with new artwork and a giveaway of the THPS 1+2 Collector's Edition. This, coupled with Hawk's announcement, has fueled speculation about a potential new game reveal, possibly coinciding with a rumored Sony State of Play event this month. Whether this will be a new game or a continuation of the previously canceled remaster remains to be seen. The mystery continues!
