Tony Hawk Appears to Double Down on New ‘Pro Skater’ Video Game

Update (Oct. 2, 2024): In a post on social media commemorating the 25th anniversary of ‘Pro Skater,’ Tony Hawk teased that ‘there will be a future’ for the game franchise. See the post toward the bottom of the page.

If you thought there would never be another Tony Hawk‘s Pro Skater game, think again — the legend himself suggested that a new game may be in the works.

Hawk recently guested on the Mythical Kitchen YouTube channel for an episode of “Last Meals.” Throughout the episode, they ate several courses, consisting of tacos, a barbecue platter; sashimi, pork katsu, salad, spaghetti bolognese, cake for desert and some other dishes.

But the exciting part was when he hinted at a new Pro Skater game with video game publisher Activision, which is also responsible for the Call of Duty franchise and some other games.

“I wish I could tell you more, but I can tell you that I’ve been talking to Activision again,” Hawk teased, adding that it’s “insanely exciting.”

“We’re working on something… That’s the first time I’ve said that publicly.”

Hawk first teamed up with Activision for the game in the late 1990s, and the first Pro Skater came out in ’99. After a few sequels, they expanded the franchise to include Tony Hawk’s Underground, American Wasteland, Proving Ground and several other titles.

The last new Pro Skater came out in 2015, and then five years later, Activision released a remake of the first two games titled Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 so that people could play them on newer consoles.

According to Nintendo Life, Hawk and Activision were working on a remastered version of Pro Skater 3 and 4, but the project was disrupted when Activision merged with Blizzard Entertainment.

So it’s unclear if whatever is in the works is related to those remasters, a 25th anniversary edition of the first game or something entirely new.

“It still exceeds my expectations,” Hawk said of the game series. “That game is the reason people still know my name.”

Hawk Teases ‘a Future’ for the Game Franchise

Hawk shared a Reel on his Instagram on Sept. 30 in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Pro Skater, and teased that the franchise will have “a future.”

“My intention and expectation for the game was mostly for the enjoyment of skateboarders. I had no idea it would transcend a niche market to become a massive success and — as some have argued — change the course of skateboarding’s popularity (and possibly even skate trick evolution),” Hawk wrote in the caption of the Reel.

“Thanks to Activision, Neversoft (RIP) and all of you that played THPS in those formative years. I’m not supposed to tease anything else about the future of the series, but there will be a future.”
