Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is officially dropping on July 11! After months of speculation, Activision has finally confirmed that this dream remake is happening. It’ll be available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, and Nintendo Switch, so no skater gets left behind.
Now, some internet sleuths swore it was going to shadow-drop during Microsoft’s Xbox Game Showcase in June. That didn’t quite happen, but hey—July isn’t that far off. Let’s be real, we’d rather wait a few extra weeks than get a half-baked kickflip of a game.
Iron Galaxy Takes Over the Skate Park
If you’re wondering who’s handling this much-anticipated remake, look no further than Iron Galaxy. The studio that brought Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 to PC and worked on The Last of Us Part I & II PC ports is now in charge of reviving THPS 3 + 4.
Vicarious Visions, the legends behind the first remake, were absorbed into Blizzard, leaving the fate of this sequel in limbo for a hot minute. But don’t stress—Iron Galaxy is here to carry the torch and make sure your grinds are smoother than ever.
What’s New in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4?
This remake isn’t just a nostalgia trip; it’s bringing some fresh moves to the table. Here’s what you can expect:
- All the original parks, but better. The classics are back, revamped, and polished for a modern look.
- New skaters and parks. Say hello to fresh faces and new locations, including the Waterpark—complete with grindable slides and a drained lazy river perfect for vert tricks.
- More tricks, more combos. Get ready to pull off insane new moves and string together longer, more ridiculous combos than ever before.
- Cross-platform multiplayer. Up to eight players can shred together online, because what’s better than humiliating your friends across all platforms?
- New Game+ mode. Keep all your hard-earned stats and replay the game with even more style.
Oh, and did we mention Tony Hawk himself will be there to guide newcomers through a tutorial? If you ever wanted a personal skate lesson from the Birdman himself, now’s your chance!
The Soundtrack Gets Even Bigger 🎶
One of the best parts of any Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game? The music. And this time, the already legendary soundtrack has been expanded with new tracks, blending classic punk, rock, and hip-hop anthems with fresh beats. You’ll want to keep those speakers cranked up.
