A professional skater has claimed he’ll seem in a yet-to-be-announced remastered Tony Hawk online game.
Skilled skateboarder Tyshawn Jones was chatting throughout an interview on the Breakfast Membership podcast, when he casually said: “I am in a Tony Hawk popping out, that is cool… They bought a brand new one they’re remastering in order that’s about to come back out, I used to be within the final one.”
As a reminder, Jones was one of many new playable professional skaters added to the remastered Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 1+2, which got here out in 2020.
However, whereas Jones is clearly on (skate)board with this upcoming Tony Hawk remaster (may it’s a Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 3+4?), it’s value noting that nothing has been formally introduced to be within the works by Activision. That is to not say that there hasn’t been loads of Tony Hawk-flavoured chatter, nonetheless.
Plans to present Professional Skater 3 and 4 the remake therapy had been reportedly scrapped after Activision made the choice to merge developer Vicarious Visions into Blizzard in 2021. However, that apparently wasn’t the top of it in any case, and in September final yr, Tony Hawk himself gave us all a glimmer of hope that one thing was within the pipeline.
Extra pertinently, Hawk revealed he had been “speaking to Activision once more” final September, and added these talks had been ” insanely thrilling” and he was “engaged on one thing” with the studio.
A little bit later that very same month, Hawk then popped up on Instagram with a submit marking the twenty fifth anniversary of Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater. And the way did he spherical every thing off? Effectively, like this:
“I am not imagined to tease anything about the way forward for the sequence, however there will probably be a future.”
Hopefully we are going to hear one thing extra concrete on what precisely this franchise future will appear like quickly. Within the meantime, Eurgamer has contacted Activision Blizzard for touch upon Jones’ assertion relating to a brand new Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater sport.
