Excitement is building as the iconic Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series makes a comeback with the much-anticipated 3 + 4 remake, set to release on July 11. Fans will be able to relive their favorite skating memories on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Those eager to hit the virtual skateparks a bit sooner can pre-order the digital deluxe edition, which allows three-day early access, alongside some cool extras like Doom crossover content and access to the Foundry Demo.
This summer promises to be full of nostalgia, as whispers of a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 release have finally been confirmed. Activision subtly dropped hints leading up to the announcement, with a countdown teaser in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Grind map, and impressive discounts on Pro Skater 1 + 2 across various platforms. Originally launched in 2001 and 2002, the beloved Pro Skater 3 and 4 games are ready for a fresh new look, ensuring a new generation can savor these classics updated for modern consoles.
The success of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 in 2020 renewed enthusiasm for the series, with its vibrant 90s and 2000s soundtrack and polished gameplay earning an 89 on OpenCritic. However, when Vicarious Visions, the remake’s original developer, was integrated into Blizzard Entertainment in 2022, many fans feared the series would stall. Fortunately, the franchise is back on track, and Iron Galaxy Studios has taken the reins to bring this new remake to life, having previously served as a support team.
Activision has now offered a glimpse into the future with a brief yet thrilling 90-second trailer, showcasing exhilarating locations like airport terminals, cruise ships, and even a medieval-themed water park, giving players a taste of what’s to come. The anticipation surrounding new skating spots like these is palpable.
Those opting for a digital deluxe edition of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 will unlock special perks, including a three-day early start on July 8. Additionally, players will enjoy the Doom crossover experience, featuring characters like Doom Slayer and Revenant Skaters, an Unmaykr hoverboard, and in-game music and gear. Both standard and deluxe pre-orders grant access to the Foundry Demo, which includes two skaters and parks. Keep your eyes peeled for more demo details soon.
Mark your calendars for July 11, as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 arrives on Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Make sure to follow the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater social channels for the latest news and updates on the demo’s release as the skateboarding saga prepares to capture the hearts of both new and loyal fans.
