Tony Hawk has expressed his enthusiasm for the possibility of further remakes of his iconic skating games, specifically mentioning a desire for a remaster of Tony Hawk’s Underground. In a conversation with Screen Rant, Hawk noted that while his ambitions are high, the ultimate decision lies with Activision and its parent company, Microsoft. Nevertheless, he is determined to advocate for these remakes, stating, “I’ll campaign all I can.”
This passion for remaking classic titles comes after the recent announcement of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, set to launch on July 11 for various platforms, including Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Hawk’s influence seems to be gaining traction, as seen in the restoration of skater Bam Margera to the game’s roster, a decision taken just before the release.
Despite some uncertainties regarding the future of the Tony Hawk series following the mixed reception of Pro Skater 1+2 and Vicarious Visions’ transition to Blizzard, there have been positive developments. Hawk’s previous hints of discussions with Activision have culminated in a renewed interest in the franchise, illustrated by the recent promotions within Call of Duty leading up to the official announcement of the Pro Skater 3+4 remake.
As the excitement builds for Pro Skater 3+4, there’s a hopeful sentiment among fans that this momentum could pave the way for more beloved titles from the series to be revisited, keeping the legacy of Tony Hawk alive in the gaming community.
