Speculation Mounts: A New Tony Hawk Game on the Horizon?
During a recent appearance on YouTube's Mythical Kitchen, the skateboarding legend revealed the exciting news: "I've been talking to Activision again, which is insanely exciting. We're working on something—This is the first time I've said that publicly," he stated. While specifics remain under wraps, Hawk assures fans that the project will be "something they'll truly appreciate."
The original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater launched on September 29, 1999, propelling the franchise to immense success with numerous sequels. The 2020 release of the remastered Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 (THPS1+2) was followed by plans for remastered versions of Pro Skater 3 and 4, plans ultimately shelved due to the closure of Vicarious Visions. In a 2022 Twitch stream, Hawk explained the cancellation, citing the studio's closure and Activision's restructuring.
THPS Social Media Buzz
In the lead-up to the anniversary, the game's official social media channels have been celebrating with new artwork and a giveaway of the THPS1+2 Collector's Edition.
This recent activity has fueled speculation about a potential new game announcement coinciding with the anniversary, possibly even during a rumored Sony State of Play event this month. While unconfirmed, the possibility of a new installment or a revival of the canceled remaster project has fans buzzing with anticipation.
