Tony Hawk Campaigning For More Remasters Of His Series

by

Summary

  • Tony Hawk is open to a remaster of Tony Hawk Underground, but it’s not up to him when it happens
  • The release of a Tony Hawk Underground remaster depends on how well THPS 3+4 sells
  • Expect microtransactions in a possible THUG remaster if Activision decides to release it

Although Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 haven’t been released yet, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk is open to the idea of Activision remastering another popular Tony Hawk game from its past.

While Tony Hawk may be ready, it’s not up to him alone to decide when a skateboarding game he’s associated with will undergo a remaster.

Tony Hawk To Campaign For More Remasters

Will Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 come out in July, and then possibly Tony Hawk’s Underground (THUG) as the following game? However, it’s not definite at this point. In an interview with ScreenRant, Tony Hawk was asked if there are plans to continue remasters, suggesting THUG could be next, but no decision has been made yet.

Tony Hawk expressed that he often harbors ambitions, but ultimately, the decision isn’t solely in his hands. He’ll do his best to advocate for it, but he’s collaborating with a much more intelligent and expansive company. Regarding the rumors about a remastered Tony Hawk Underground, Hawk made it clear that discussions haven’t taken place yet, considering Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 have yet to hit the market.

If Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 perform well in sales, there’s a greater likelihood of seeing the classic game Tony Hawk Underground being remastered. After all, it wouldn’t be financially viable for Activision to produce a remaster for a series that doesn’t generate significant revenue.

Tony Hawk Underground, launched in October 2003, was playable on PS2, Xbox, and GameCube platforms. What made it stand out compared to its predecessors was the feature that enabled players to design their own characters, who could then be used in the game’s narrative.

If Activision decides to release a THUG (True Crime: Streets of Los Angeles) remaster, it’s likely they will incorporate the game’s customization features into microtransactions, following the trend seen in most modern sports video games today.

Let me clarify first: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 are set to release on July 11, 2023, available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and personal computers.
