Get ready to dive into a summer nostalgia trip as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 revs up for a July 11 release. This iconic series is set to hit PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. If you can’t wait to relive those skateboarding days a little earlier, preordering the digital deluxe edition will give you a three-day head start, plus some cool extras like Doom crossover content and access to the Foundry Demo.
For weeks, Activision has been dropping hints about the big reveal. From cheeky countdowns embedded in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 maps to slashing prices on Pro Skater 1 + 2 across various platforms, they’ve been stirring up excitement. Those who remember the originals, released in 2001 and 2002, are eagerly anticipating seeing these beloved games reimagined for today’s consoles.
The revival of Tony Hawk’s franchise began with the 2020 release of Pro Skater 1 + 2, which was a smash hit with an impressive 89 score on OpenCritic. Gamers and critics alike praised its perfect blend of gameplay and nostalgic soundtrack. However, when Vicarious Visions, the studio behind the remake, was merged into Blizzard Entertainment in 2022, hopes for a follow-up were dashed. The move left fans skeptical about the future of further remakes, fearing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 might never materialize.
But now, as the news confirms, fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Developed by Iron Galaxy Studios, a name some might recognize from their support role in Pro Skater 1 + 2, the Pro Skater 3 + 4 remake promises a fresh take on classic skateboarding adventures. An exciting 90-second trailer has already whet appetites, revealing a variety of locations like an airport, cruise ship, and even a medieval water park.
If you’re thinking about picking up the digital deluxe edition, you’ll not only access the game three days prior to the official release but also receive exclusive Doom-themed add-ons. Imagine shredding with Doom Slayer and Revenant Skaters, while rocking out to the Doom soundtrack and flaunting themed skate decks and outfits. Plus, securing a preorder will give you a golden ticket to the Foundry Demo, featuring a sneak peek with two skaters, two parks, and a taste of the game’s new soundtrack.
Come July 11, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 will make its way to Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Fans are in for a treat, with plenty more news expected in the months leading up to its debut. So, keep a close watch on Tony Hawk’s and Activision’s social media channels for updates on when you can dive into the Foundry Demo.
The anticipation is real, and it’s drawing Tony Hawk fans and newcomers alike. This release will not only rekindle old memories but pave the way for a new generation to experience the legendary skateboarding game.
