Get ready for a summer of nostalgia as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 has been officially revealed, set to launch on July 11. Activision has been hinting at this announcement for weeks, including a countdown in the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Grind map, offering discounts on Pro Skater 1 + 2 across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, and more. The original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and Pro Skater 4 were released in 2001 and 2002, respectively, and a new generation of gamers has eagerly awaited the chance to experience these iconic titles with a modern update.
The remaster wave started with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 in 2020, which received critical acclaim, earning an 89 on OpenCritic and winning praise for its nostalgic 90s and early-2000s soundtrack. However, the developer of that remake, Vicarious Visions, was absorbed into Blizzard Entertainment in 2022, becoming Blizzard Albany, a support studio for Diablo 4. This led to much disappointment among Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater fans, who feared that Pro Skater 3 + 4 would never be made.
Now, there’s hope for fans again, as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 will officially release on July 11. The announcement came through a thrilling 90-second trailer that teased several locations players can skate through, including an airport, a cruise ship, a medieval-themed water park, and other exciting areas. The remakes are being developed by Iron Galaxy Studios, the team that previously assisted with the Pro Skater 1 + 2 remake.
