Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4 to be Shadow Dropped At Xbox Showcase This June – WGB

Yesterday news broke via professional skateboarder Tyshawn Jones that a new Tony Hawks remaster is in the works and is “about to come out.” While Tyshawn did not specifically mention which game was being remastered, the obvious assumption was that it would be a combination of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4, to follow-up on the success Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 remaster from a few years ago.

This assumption has seemingly been confirmed to be accurate by a new report from Spanish insider eXtas1s. His track record is somewhat mixed, but when it comes to Xbox, and more specifically Xbox Gamepass, he tends to be fairly reliable.

Speaking on his Youtube channel, eXtas1s says that Tyshawn’s comments helped him piece everything together, confirming that a project named Project Chicago is in fact Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4.

But eXtas1s goes a bit further by saying that he knows when it’s coming out. According to what he’s heard, the remaster will launch in June of this year. Even more specifically, it’s going to be shadow dropped at the Xbox Showcase happening that month. He goes on to speculate that it will likely be available on Game Pass straight away, and that it’s probably going to come to PS5 and Switch 2 as well.

Please note, I took the transcript of the video in question and used Google translate to read through what eXtas1s said but have not included the exact text here as the translation is rather rough.

All of this just leaves one question: who is developing the new remaster? Vicarious Visions handled Tony Hawk’s pro Skater 1+2 but they were merged into Blizzard. However, the team does still exist in the same offices, now going by the name Blizzard Albany. They would presumably be the first choice for handling the remaster.

Failing that, there’s a possibility that Toys For Bob, a former Activision studio that reached a deal with Microsoft to go independent, could be handling the project as they have experience with the franchise. Although it is possible that Toys for Bob might currently be working on a new Spyro game.
