Activision has officially announced the upcoming release of "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4" set for July 11, 2025. This highly anticipated title remasters two beloved entries from the iconic skateboard video game series, blending nostalgia with modern gaming technology. The game will be available on multiple platforms including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
The remaster is being developed by Iron Galaxy Studios, the same team renowned for their work on previous titles but not involved with the initial Tony Hawk remakes released back in 2020. The upcoming game promises to feature both original and brand new content, including classic skate parks, new tricks, music, and even new characters.
Unique features include the introduction of cross-platform online multiplayer, allowing up to eight skaters to compete or skate together simultaneously. Activision has ensured the game will be compatible with Xbox Game Pass subscribers at launch, making it accessible to even more players.
Players who preorder the game will receive exclusive access to the Foundry Demo, which will be available starting June 2025. This demo includes two playable skaters and two parks from the game, allowing fans to get their first taste of the action prior to release. The standard edition of the game is priced at $49.99, with Digital Deluxe and Collector’s Editions offering additional content at higher price points.
The new game features many familiar names from the original games, such as Tony Hawk, Bucky Lasek, and Elissa Steamer, who are set to return alongside new skaters including two-time Olympics champion Yuto Horigome and younger talents like Rayssa Leal and Chloe Covell. This refreshing blend of old-school and new-generation players aims to appeal to long-time fans and newcomers alike.
Notably, the soundtrack will remain as iconic as ever, featuring tracks like "Ace of Spades" by Motörhead, among others. The nostalgic elements from the previous games will be present, such as the renowned music and gameplay mechanics supplemented with stunning 4K graphics. Fans of the franchise have long awaited this moment, and the buzz surrounding the game’s announcement has generated significant excitement within the gaming community.
For those inclined to purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition, there are additional skaters to look forward to, including the popular characters Doom Slayer and Revenant from id Software’s Doom franchise. This edition also offers exclusive, themed skate decks and additional songs for the expanded soundtrack.
The ultimate Collector's Edition includes all the benefits of the Deluxe Edition plus a limited-edition full-size Birdhouse skateboard deck featuring Tony Hawk's autograph, catering to dedicated fans who are eager to own memorabilia from the series.
Not only does this release signify the continuation of the beloved franchise, but it also marks the return of Tony Hawk himself as he continues to partner with Activision to deliver new gaming experiences. The first two installment remakes were very well-received, and many are hopeful this new game will live up to its predecessors.
Fans hold their breath as they look forward to rediscovering old favorites and exploring new content within the expansive world of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. With the game set to release on July 11, 2025, the countdown has officially begun for skaters around the globe.
