It’s been four years since the world was last graced with a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game – and, as we’ve all tried hard to forget, it was rubbish. Even so, despite late-life missteps, love for the series lingers on – and recent whispers from those seemingly in the know suggest that fans may finally be set to get the Pro Skater revival they’ve been hoping for.
Word of a new Tony Hawk game initially began to circulate over the weekend when reliable industry leaker Sabi shared word from an Activision source, suggesting that prototype remakes of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 had been doing the rounds internally.
Sabi did note, however, that, “Nobody seems to know if both games are being fully remade, or if it’s just a test for something else.” That uncertainty might well have already been cleared up elsewhere, though, thanks to a recent interview unearthed by fans.
Back in October, it turns out, professional skateboarder Lizzie Armanto told The Nine Club podcast – during a brief back-and-forth about her appearance in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 – that “[Hawk is] coming out with another one, and I’ll be in that too.”
