The eagerly awaited remakes of two iconic skateboarding games are finally hitting the market. After a long wait spanning several years, fans can now look forward to the relaunch of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4. This package will be available on multiple platforms including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Moreover, players with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Game Pass PC subscriptions will gain immediate access upon release. The development journey has been anything but straightforward, with various twists and turns along the way.
Iron Galaxy Studios, known for titles like Rumbleverse and Killer Instinct, has taken over the reins for this remake project. The new iteration promises not only visual enhancements but also introduces fresh content, such as brand-new skate parks that haven't been seen in a decade. Two trailers have already been released, showcasing the revamped visuals and environments. The first trailer highlights classic locations accompanied by memorable tracks from the original games, while the second focuses on the Digital Deluxe edition, offering exclusive items inspired by the popular game Doom. Pre-orders for this special edition come with early access starting July 8th, adding an extra layer of excitement for eager fans.
Activision has also announced additional features to enhance the gaming experience. New skaters, including notable names like Rayssa Leal, Chloe Covell, Jamie Foy, Zion Wright, and Yuto Horigome, will join the roster. Players who pre-order the standard edition will receive a Wireframe Tony Shader and access to a demo featuring the Foundry park in June. While the demo won’t be available on Nintendo Switch, it offers a taste of what’s to come. Ultimately, the launch of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 marks a significant milestone for both longtime fans and newcomers alike, celebrating the enduring legacy of these beloved games and promoting creativity and skill in the world of virtual skateboarding.
