Tony Hawk Hints at a 25th Anniversary Celebration for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
Legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk recently confirmed that he and Activision are collaborating on a project to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the iconic Tony Hawk's Pro Skater franchise. This announcement, made during a YouTube appearance on Mythical Kitchen, fueled speculation about a potential new game or a continuation of the previously canceled remaster project.
While details remain scarce, Hawk assured fans that the project will be something they'll appreciate. The original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater launched on September 29, 1999, and the franchise has enjoyed immense commercial success with numerous sequels. The 2020 release of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 remaster further solidified the series' enduring popularity.
The future of the Pro Skater series was uncertain following the closure of Vicarious Visions, the studio behind the 1+2 remaster, and the subsequent cancellation of plans to remaster Pro Skater 3 and 4. However, this latest announcement suggests a renewed commitment to the franchise.
The official Tony Hawk's Pro Skater social media accounts have already begun celebrating the 25th anniversary with new artwork and a giveaway. Rumors suggest a potential announcement during a Sony State of Play event this month, further intensifying anticipation for what's to come. Whether it's a new game or a resurrected remaster remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: fans are eagerly awaiting more information.
