The legendary Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise is on the verge of another revival, as mounting evidence suggests that a remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is in the works.
With the Singaporean ratings board listing the game for a 2025 release and an official countdown timer on the THPS website, anticipation has reached fever pitch.
Fans eager for another nostalgia-fuelled ride through iconic skate parks may not have to wait much longer.
The remaster of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 in 2020 was met with widespread acclaim, blending faithful recreation with modern refinements.
Given its success, a continuation seemed inevitable. However, the path to a THPS 3+4 remake has been anything but straightforward. Activision’s decision to fold developer Vicarious Visions into Blizzard in 2021 put the franchise’s future in limbo.
According to Tony Hawk himself, Activision sought out other developers for a potential follow-up but did not find a studio they trusted to handle the project.
This uncertainty left fans wondering if THPS 3+4 would ever see the light of day.
Despite the hurdles, recent developments strongly suggest the remake is moving forward. The Singaporean ratings board has listed Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 for multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
This multi-platform approach mirrors the release strategy of THPS 1+2, maximising accessibility for both new and returning players.
Additionally, a countdown timer on the THPS website is set to conclude on March 4th, fuelling speculation that an official announcement is imminent.
Further adding to the excitement, Tony Hawk recently hinted at ongoing discussions with Activision, stating:
“It will be something the fans will truly appreciate.”
This aligns with rumours that multiple pro skateboarders and video game industry insiders, including Kinda Funny Games, have been teasing a significant THPS-related announcement.
The resurgence of interest within both the gaming and skateboarding communities suggests that whatever is coming on March 4th is more than just a minor update.
The biggest lingering question remains: Who is developing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4?
With Vicarious Visions absorbed into Blizzard, Activision has yet to publicly name a new studio taking on the project.
The Singaporean ratings board only lists Activision as the publisher and developer, leaving fans to speculate whether an internal team is leading the charge or if another experienced studio has been quietly working behind the scenes.
Given the meticulous attention to detail required to recapture the feel of the originals, the choice of developer could determine whether the remake lives up to expectations. Fans won’t have to wait much longer to find out what’s next for one of the most beloved skateboarding franchises in gaming history.
