Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Officially Announced, Releasing This July

Following
some
teasing

and
a
fair
few
leaks,
Microsoft
and
Activision
have
officially
announced
Tony
Hawk’s
Pro
Skater
3+4,
a
remastering
and
combining
of
the
3rd
and
4th
games
in
the
franchise.

The
game
will
launch
on
Xbox
Series
X|S,
Xbox
One,
Battle.net,
Windows

PC,
Steam,

Nintendo
Switch,

PlayStation
5
and

PlayStation
4
on
July
11.

It’ll
also
come
to
Game
Pass
on
day
1.

While
the
game
combines
the
3rd
and
4th
entries
like

Tony
Hawk’s
Pro
Skater
1+2
did
a
few
years
back,
it’ll
also
include
“new
parks,
skaters,
and
music,
as
well
as
cross-platform
multiplayer,
new
creation
tools,
a
New
Game+
mode,
and
more.”

There’a
also
going
to
be
an
“in-depth”
tutorial
from
Tony
Hawk
himself,
apparently.

But
there
is
some
potentially
bad
news:
Vicarious
Visions
is
not
developing
the
game.
You
might
recall
that
after
releasing

the
excellent
Tony
Hawk’s
pro
Skater
1+2,
Vicarious
Visions
was
renamed
and
sent
to
work
with
Blizzard.
Sadly,
Microsoft
has
not
reformed
the
team
to
work
on
this
sequel.
Instead,
Iron
Galaxy
is
leading
development,
a
team
known
for
their
port
and
support
work.
They
helped
out
on
Tony
Hawk’s
pro
Skater
1+2,
so
hopefully
they’ll
be
able
to
do
this
follow-up
justice.

If
you
opt
to
to
pre-order
the
regular
edition
of
the
game
($50)
then
you’ll
get
access
the
Foundry
level
demo
in
June,
providing
2
skaters
and
2
parks
to
try
out.

There’s
also
going
to
be
a
Digital
Deluxe
Edition
($70)
which
offers
3
days
of
early
access
along
with
a
special
Doom
skin
that
lets
you
skate
around
as
the
Doom
Slayer
on
a
hoverboard.
He
even
has
his
own
special
tricks.
Or
you
can
choose
to
be
Revenant
instead.
This
edition
also
comes
with
bonus
“skate
decks,
Create-a-Skater
items
and
bonus
soundtracks.”

Finally,
there’s
a
pricier
($130)
Collector’s
version
of
the
game
that
comes
with
everything
in
the
Premium
version
plus
a
full-size
Birdhouse
skateboard
deck,
and
a
physical
version
of
the
game
itself.
