Is a New Tony Hawk Remaster About to Drop? Here’s What We Know!

Summary

  • Pro skater Tyshawn Jones hints at upcoming Tony Hawk Pro Skater remaster during radio show interview.
  • Uncertainty remains over whether upcoming game is a remaster or entirely new release for the franchise.
  • Potential competition looms with new free-to-play Skate game, setting up 2025 to be a big year for skateboarding fans.

Enthusiasts of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series have been eagerly awaiting new content for quite some time now, and if professional skater Tyshawn Jones’ statements are accurate, they might not have much longer to wait. In a recent radio interview, Jones hinted that he will be featured in an upcoming remaster of a Tony Hawk Pro Skater game.

Over the past ten years, the “Tony Hawk Pro Skater” series has experienced ups and downs in terms of popularity. The last consecutive game in the series, “Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5,” which was released in 2015, received a lot of criticism upon its launch due to issues like glitches, poor physics, and outdated mechanics. It was also discovered later that the game was rushed for release because the developer Activision’s IP license was about to expire. After a five-year hiatus, the series made a comeback in 2020 with “Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2,” featuring numerous enhancements. Now, after another five years, it appears the franchise is gearing up for another run.

Recently, Tyshawn Jones made an appearance on Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM, revealing that he’s set to be included as a playable character in an upcoming remaster of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series. It’s worth noting that this series celebrated its 25th anniversary last year, with Tony Hawk himself hinting at a new Tony Hawk Pro Skater game on the occasion. However, it remains unclear whether the game Tony Hawk teased is the same remastered version Tyshawn Jones spoke of, or if it’s an entirely new game. Fans will just have to stay patient and wait for more details to be released.

It appears that there’s some confusion about which Tony Hawk Pro Skater game is being remastered, although it seems likely that a remake is in development. The gaming community is particularly hopeful for the possibility of remastering Tony Hawk’s Underground and its sequel, which were popular on the PS2 and featured unique elements like a more narrative-focused single player mode and the innovative ability to leave the skateboard. However, the specific game or games being remastered have yet to be revealed.

With the official confirmation of the new Skate game and strong rumors of a Tony Hawk Pro Skater release this year, 2025 looks like it could be an incredible year for skateboarding enthusiasts!
