[Update: Feb 19th, 2pm] Following on from yesterday's speculation about a new Tony Hawk release, we've got additional reporting from well-known insider eXtas1s that adds lots of extra detail to this rumour.
According to the often-accurate Xbox leaker, Microsoft will announce Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 at the Xbox Games Showcase this summer. Furthermore, eXtas1s also claims that the game will release right after the show - effectively making this a shadow drop from Team Green, if it happens.
The final bit of information coming from this leak so far is that the game will be released on other platforms as well as Xbox, which should be no surprise at this stage. For now, this is just a rumour, and we'll likely have to wait until the Xbox Games Showcase — typically held in June — to find out for sure.
[Original: Feb 18th, 3:43pm] We've been desperate to get our hands on a new Tony Hawk game ever since the incredible Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 arrived back in 2020, and it sounds like we could be getting something from Xbox and Activision in the near future!
This is according to an interview featuring pro skater Tyshawn Jones in a recent Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM appearance (thanks, Insider Gaming), where Jones advised that he's set to appear in a Tony Hawk remaster very soon:
“I’m in a Tony Hawk coming out so that’s cool. They got a new one they remastering so that’s about to come out. I was in the last one.”
Last year, Tony Hawk himself hinted that he was working with Activision on "insanely exciting" 25th anniversary plans for the series, promising that it would be "something the fans will truly appreciate".
We'll have to wait and see what comes of this, but we're assuming that if it's the real deal, it'll also be available on Xbox Game Pass day one - the result of Xbox actually owning the Tony Hawk IP these days. What will these remasters be? Which studio is developing the project? Hopefully we'll get answers to these questions very soon!
