Hawk Hints at Anniversary Surprise for 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater'

Tony Hawk Hints at a 25th Anniversary Celebration for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

Get ready for some rad news! As the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater franchise approaches its 25th anniversary, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk himself has confirmed that Activision is working on something special to commemorate the occasion. The details remain shrouded in mystery, but Hawk's recent appearance on Mythical Kitchen promises an exciting reveal that fans will appreciate.

Anniversary Plans Underway

During the Mythical Kitchen interview, Hawk stated, "I've been talking to Activision again, which is insanely exciting. We're working on something—This is the first time I've said that publicly." While he remained tight-lipped about specifics, his enthusiasm suggests a significant announcement is on the horizon.

The original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater launched on September 29, 1999, and its subsequent success spawned numerous sequels and remasters. The 2020 release of the remastered THPS 1+2 collection was met with positive reception, and plans for remasters of THPS 3 and 4 were previously in the works. However, the closure of Vicarious Visions and subsequent changes at Activision led to the cancellation of this project.

Speculation Mounts

The official THPS social media accounts have already begun celebrating the 25th anniversary with artwork and a giveaway of the THPS 1+2 Collector's Edition. This, coupled with Hawk's recent comments, has fueled speculation about a potential new game announcement. Rumors suggest a possible reveal during a Sony State of Play event this month, though nothing is confirmed. Whether this announcement will be a new game or a revival of the canceled remaster project remains to be seen. Stay tuned for more updates!
