Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 remake release date leaks ahead of official reveal
Activision will be unveiling a new Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game later today, but it seems all the key details have leaked ahead of schedule.
Activision will be unveiling a new Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game later today, but it seems all the key details have leaked ahead of schedule.
Last September, Tony Hawk himself confirmed that Activision was doing something new with the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series, after seemingly abandoning it again despite the success of the Pro Skater 1 + 2 remake.
A couple of weeks ago, another professional skateboarder let slip that a new Pro Skater game was in the works and, sure enough, shortly after that Activision began teasing an announcement set to take place later today.
It’s widely believed that the announcement is for another pair of remakes, for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 (which were already known to be in development at one point, before being cancelled), but it appears all the details have already leaked out.
According to Dealabs’ billbil-kun, who has a near 100% record with video game related retail leaks (like Split Fiction’s name and release date), the new game is indeed Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 and it’s slated to launch on July 11 this year.
As is increasingly common for prominent game releases, billbil-kun adds that anyone who purchases the deluxe or collector’s edition will receive three days of early access.
Additionally, pre-orders for any version of the game will come with a Wireframe Tony Shader (a cosmetic of some kind, presumably) and access to a demo featuring the Foundry, the first level of Pro Skater 3.
The most surprising detail though, is that the deluxe edition will come with the Doom Slayer and a Revenant enemy from Bethesda’s Doom games as playable skaters, alongside a skateboard themed after the Unmakyr weapon and music tracks.
If accurate, no doubt this is Microsoft’s idea since it owns both Activision and Bethesda, making it much easier for such crossovers to happen. While this may seem bizarre, the Tony Hawk games already have a history of including characters from other franchises, such as Star Wars, Marvel, and Shrek.
In fact, the original Pro Skater 3 had Doom Slayer (or Doomguy as he was then) as a secret unlockable. He was only in the PC version but, presumably, the new Doom content will be available across all platforms and not be limited to the Xbox version.
How much will Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 cost?According to billbil-kun, a regular copy of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 will cost $49.99. So, it will likely cost somewhere between £40 and £50 here in the UK.
The deluxe edition, meanwhile, will cost $69.99, which is approximately £55. The collector’s edition will cost $129.99, which is equivalent to £102, so Microsoft will probably round that up to £110 or so.
Speaking of platforms, billbil-kun states that Pro Skater 3 + 4 is planned for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Although it sounds like the collector’s edition will only be available for consoles.
An official reveal is slated to take place today at 6pm GMT, according to this countdown on the Pro Skater website, so we’ll be sure to update this article with the confirmed details and, hopefully, a trailer.
It’ll be interesting to see if Pro Skater 3 + 4 will meet the same level of quality as the previous Tony Hawk remakes, since they won’t have the same developer. Vicarious Visions handled Pro Skater 1 + 2 and despite doing an excellent job it was downgraded to a support studio for the Diablo series and rebranded as Blizzard Albany.
As for this new Tony Hawk game, the official website includes the logo for Iron Galaxy, seemingly giving away that it’s helming the project. Although not a Microsoft owned studio, Iron Galaxy has close ties with the publisher, having handled the Killer Instinct reboot; it also helped port Pro Skater 1 + 2 to PC.
