Skateboarding royalty Tony Hawk has seemingly teased that another Tony Hawk game or remaster will happen.
The Hawkman took to Instagram to celebrate the Tony Hawk franchise’s 25th anniversary (might I recommend checking out my ranking of every single Tony Hawk game?) and hint toward something else coming down the line.
“The original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was released exactly 25 years ago today. My intention and expectation for the game was mostly for the enjoyment of skateboarders.” said Tony Hawk. “I had no idea it would transcend a niche market to become a massive success and – as some have argued – change the course of skateboarding’s popularity (and possibly even skate trick evolution).”
His tease came at the end, when Hawk signed off by saying: “I’m not supposed to tease anything else about the future of the series; but there will be a future.”
It’s not the first time he’s teased a new entry in the series, either. Just last week Tony Hawk appeared on a Youtube series where guests eat what they could choose as their last ever meal, and during the interview he confirmed that he was talking to Activision again.
He also confirmed that remastered versions of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 were in the works following the amazing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, but Vicarious Visions being absorbed into the bigger Activision beast stopped that. According to Hawk, other studios were looked at to handle it, but Activision didn’t like any of the options.
Personally, I’m amped about the idea that the series could return. I’d love to see the planned remastering of the third and fourth games considering how awesome the first collection was, but I’d also be intrigued by a brand new Tony Hawk title.
