The fire around the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater remake rumors just got a bit hotter with Singapore's rating board listing "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4" for a 2025 release. This anticipated collection, which would include remakes of the next two mainline games in the iconic series, is reportedly set to launch on a diverse array of platforms, including Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. This broad platform support hints at a wide-reaching appeal for the beloved skateboarding franchise.
While there's no official word from Activision yet, a mysterious countdown timer found in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is stoking the flames further. The timer, set to expire on March 4, 2025, suggests that some big Tony Hawk's Pro Skater news could be imminent. Adding to the buzz, Tony Hawk himself has been dropping hints. In a recent chat with Mythical Kitchen, he revealed ongoing discussions with Activision and teased that they're working on something special that fans will love.
The success of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 remake in 2020 set the stage for what many believed would be the logical next step: remakes of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4. However, the journey to this point has been anything but straightforward. After the stellar reception of the 1+2 remake, plans to immediately tackle 3+4 were derailed when the original developer, Vicarious Visions, was absorbed into Blizzard to focus on other projects.
Tony Hawk shed light on the situation during a 2022 Twitch livestream, explaining that Activision struggled to find a new developer they trusted as much as Vicarious Visions. The publisher entertained pitches from various studios on how they would approach a THPS title, but none met their expectations. This left the future of the 3+4 remake uncertain until now.
With the Singapore rating and the upcoming countdown, the question on everyone's mind is: who is developing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4? The Singaporean ratings board only mentions Activision as both the publisher and developer, leaving fans eager to uncover more details. As we approach March 4, next week, it seems we'll finally get some concrete answers about the future of this legendary series.
