The buzz around a potential Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 remake is heating up, especially with Singapore's rating board officially rating the game for a 2025 release. This eagerly anticipated collection, which includes the next two iconic entries in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series, is slated to launch across an extensive range of platforms. The ratings board has confirmed that the game will be available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, catering to a wide audience of gamers.
While no official announcement has been made yet, the excitement is palpable, particularly with a countdown timer spotted in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. This timer, set to expire on March 4, 2025, is hinting at an imminent reveal of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater news. Adding fuel to the speculation, Tony Hawk himself shared in a conversation with Mythical Kitchen that he's been in discussions with Activision about a new project. Hawk hinted that this upcoming endeavor would be something fans would deeply appreciate, further stoking the anticipation.
The success of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 remake in 2020 set a high bar, making a follow-up with games 3 and 4 seem almost inevitable. However, the situation became uncertain when Vicarious Visions, the developer behind the acclaimed remake, was integrated into Blizzard in 2021 to focus on other projects. Tony Hawk revealed that the original plan was to move directly to remaking 3+4, but the shift in Vicarious Visions' role forced Activision to seek other developers.
In a 2022 Twitch livestream, Hawk disclosed that Activision had been exploring options with other studios to continue the series. However, none of the pitches met their expectations, leading to a standstill. The Singaporean ratings board's listing of Activision as both the publisher and developer for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 raises the question of who is actually developing the game. With the countdown ticking down to March 4, next week appears to be when we'll finally get more definitive answers.
