In recent weeks, excitement has been brewing within the gaming community regarding a possible remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4. Following the successful relaunch of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 in 2020, there has been a swell of interest in restoring the next installments of this beloved franchise. Various hints and indications—ranging from comments made by professional skateboarders to mysterious teasers embedded in popular games—point towards an upcoming announcement that many fans have eagerly anticipated.
Professional skater Tyshawn Jones notably stirred the pot when he suggested that he might be involved in an unannounced Tony Hawk game. Such comments from figures in the skateboarding world often carry weight for fans, as they hint at a blend of real-world skateboarding culture with digital entertainment. These teasers begin to paint a picture that the franchise is not only still alive but perhaps evolving into something special that includes talented athletes from the current skate scene.
Adding fuel to the fire, a recent installment of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 featured an enigmatic skateboard shop and the notable date of March 4, 2025. While this might seem like an innocent Easter egg, it has raised eyebrows among fans of both franchises. The announcement echoed through social media like wildfire, leading players to speculate about the significance of this date in relation to potential news about the remake. The fact that the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater website has also included a countdown timer pointing to this date only amplifies the intrigue.
The Singaporean Infocomm Media Development Authority recently rated Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 as “General,” confirming the game’s existence and designating Activision as the developer and publisher. This not only signals an official recognition of the product but also implies that it will be available on all major gaming platforms, including the Nintendo Switch—a strategic move that broadens accessibility and attractiveness to a diverse gamer base.
However, the road to development hasn’t been smooth. After the 2020 success of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, there were high hopes for the series’ continuation. Yet, the dissolution of Vicarious Visions—a studio fondly regarded for its work on the franchise—led many to doubt whether fans would see a resurgence of new content. Tony Hawk himself hinted that while development was contemplated, it had ultimately been halted due to corporate changes and mergers, particularly with Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. This uncertainty cast a long shadow over the franchise, leaving fans dejected about its future.
Awaiting Official News
Today, speculations surround who will take the reins of this high-stakes project, especially in the wake of the Vicarious Visions closure. As the clock ticks toward March 4, 2025, excitement is tinged with hope yet punctuated by caution. Can we trust that the legacy of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater will garner the respect it deserves in its next adventure? Only time will tell, but players and fans alike are on the edge of their seats, eager for any official announcement that may emerge revealing the full scope of what’s set to come. Keep your eyes peeled for updates—we may soon get the thrilling reveal we’ve all been waiting for.
