Tony Hawk Teases "Special Project" for 25th Anniversary

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

With the 25th anniversary of the iconic Tony Hawk's Pro Skater franchise fast approaching, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk has confirmed that Activision and he are collaborating on a special project. In a recent appearance on YouTube's Mythical Kitchen, Hawk revealed, "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 specifics remain undisclosed, Hawk assures fans the project will be "something they will truly appreciate."

The Future of THPS: New Game or Remastered Classics?

The original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater launched on September 29, 1999, igniting a hugely successful franchise. The 2020 release of the remastered Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 fueled anticipation for remasters of Pro Skater 3 and 4. However, the closure of Vicarious Visions, the studio initially tasked with the project, resulted in its cancellation. This latest announcement has reignited speculation about a potential new game or a revival of the scrapped remaster plans.

Anniversary Celebrations and Fan Speculation

The official Tony Hawk's Pro Skater social media channels have already begun celebrating the 25th anniversary with new artwork and a giveaway of the THPS 1 + 2 Collector's Edition. The timing of Hawk's announcement, coupled with rumors of a Sony State of Play event this month, has led to widespread speculation about an imminent game announcement. Whether this will be a new entry in the series or a continuation of the previously canceled remaster remains to be seen. The wait continues!
