Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is Coming!
Get ready to grind! Activision and Tony Hawk have announced that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 will be available on July 11. Iron Galaxy Studios has completely remade these classic skateboarding games, promising an updated experience with the original content and cross-platform online multiplayer for up to eight skaters. Activision has stated that this game picks up where Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 left off.
The new game features new skaters, tricks, and brand-new parks. While Vicarious Visions, the studio behind the first remake, was originally slated to work on this title, the plan was scrapped after the studio's absorption into Blizzard. The skater selection will include legends and new names, like two-time Olympics champion Yuto Horigome. The game will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam, Battle.net, and Microsoft Store). Pre-orders are open now, and those who pre-order will get access to the Foundry Demo in June.
