Tony Hawk suggests Pro Skater game series has something in the works

Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk has once again teased the possibility of a new game in the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series. While celebrating the 25^th anniversary of the original title on social media he suggested that “there will be a future” for the series. It isn’t the first time Hawk has made this kind of comment, either, after saying, earlier this month, that he had been in talks with Activision again and went on to say “we’re working on something.”

The original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater launched in 1999, first on the PS1 and then on the N64 soon after. The title was a massive hit and still has a critical score of 92, and a user rating of 8.2 out of 10 according to Metacritic.

The success of the original spawned several sequels with most proving popular with gamers. Pro Skater 5 on PS4, which was the last new entry in the series, was something of a blip, getting roundly panned by reviewers and gamers alike. However, a remaster of the original two games saw the games return to successful ways.

Since the remake, fans have been waiting for news of another launch with some calling for a remake of the third game. Others are hoping for something meatier with a possible Pro Skater 6 launch.

Hawk previously stated, in 2022, that he and Activision were looking to find somebody to remake the third and fourth games but they didn’t trust anybody the way they trusted Vicarious. Vicarious was acquired by Activision in 2005 and became part of Blizzard Entertainment in 2022, so it is currently unclear who would be responsible for any possible remake.
