The anticipation is building for gamers everywhere as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is officially set to launch on July 11. Players on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC can all gear up for some nostalgia-fueled fun. Those eager to hit the ramps a little earlier can pre-order the digital deluxe edition, which not only offers three-day early access but also includes some exciting extras like Doom crossover content and a taste of the action with the Foundry Demo.
This summer will surely be a memorable one for fans of the iconic skateboarding game. Activision’s hints about a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 reveal have been dropping periodically, from easter eggs in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Grind map to discounts on Pro Skater 1 + 2 across platforms. Since their original releases in the early 2000s, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 have been fan favorites, and players have eagerly awaited the chance to experience these classics once more, now polished for a modern audience.
The resurgence of Tony Hawk remakes took off in 2020 with the release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2. Garnering praise for its authentic 90s and early 2000s vibes, it achieved an impressive 89 score on OpenCritic. However, fans were left disappointed when Vicarious Visions, the studio behind the remake, became part of Blizzard Entertainment, shifting its focus to supporting the Diablo 4 project. This left many doubting whether Pro Skater 3 + 4 would ever become a reality.
But the wait is over! Activision’s official announcement, delivered via an electrifying 90-second trailer, promises gamers a chance to shred through a variety of exciting locations like an airport, a cruise ship, and a medieval-themed water park. The development of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 remake is in the hands of Iron Galaxy Studios, who previously lent their expertise to the Pro Skater 1 + 2 project.
If you opt to pre-order the digital deluxe edition, you’ll not only jump into the game ahead of everyone else, but you’ll also dive into some fun Doom-themed extras. Picture yourself skating as the Doom Slayer or Revenant Skaters, and cruising on the Unmaykr hoverboard to iconic Doom music tracks. You’ll also snag exclusive skate decks and apparel, ensuring you’re both stylish and formidable in the park. Plus, the Foundry Demo promises a taste of what’s to come, featuring two skaters, two parks, and a selection from the game’s soundtrack.
As we count down to July 11, excitement for Pro Skater 3 + 4 spreads across Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Keep your eyes peeled for more sneak peeks and updates by following Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and Activision on social media. Fans won’t want to miss any news leading up to this highly anticipated release, especially details about the upcoming Foundry Demo.
