Only in the near past, former skilled skateboarder Tony Hawk showed that he used to be “speaking to Activision once more” with reference to his titular online game franchise. Whilst shall we with a bit of luck suppose that this supposed long term entries had been most likely within the works, we have now additional affirmation from the Birdman himself by means of Instagram (thank you, VGC).
Posted within the closing 24 hours on the time of writing, Hawk celebrated the twenty fifth anniversary of the unique Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater, launched on twenty ninth September 1999 for the PS1, with an N64 model following quickly after. He ended the submit with a tantalising tease on a possible new sport, declaring “I’m now not intended to tease the rest about the way forward for the sequence; however there shall be a long term”.
It is nearly a affirmation of a brand new access at this level, proper? What shape that takes, then again, is up within the air at the present time. May just it’s the remake of Professional Skater 3 and 4 that now we have all been hoping for? Most likely a 6th reputable mainline identify? Or possibly a brand new Tony Hawk: RIDE? Please, no…
Regardless, it is getting us beautiful excited. After the crisis of Professional Skater 5, the sequence momentarily were given again heading in the right direction with the Vicarious Visions-developed remake, Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 1 + 2. Alas, whilst that specific group is not more, it looks as if Activision-Snowfall is hoping to restore the franchise within the not-too-distant long term.
