Rumored Development of New Tony Hawk Remaster Game

Exciting Developments Surrounding Tony Hawk Pro Skater

Pro skater Tyshawn Jones hints at a new remaster of a Tony Hawk Pro Skater title during a recent radio interview.
There remains ambiguity over whether this project will be a remaster or an entirely new installment in the franchise.
With a new free-to-play Skate game on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for skateboarding enthusiasts.

In a recent interview on Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM, professional skateboarder Tyshawn Jones dropped hints about an upcoming remaster of a Tony Hawk Pro Skater title that he is slated to appear in. This announcement has reignited the excitement surrounding the franchise, which has experienced fluctuations in popularity over recent years.

The Tony Hawk Pro Skater series, which enjoyed a prominent position in the gaming world, faced challenges following the poorly received release of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 in 2015. Players criticized it for multiple glitches and unsatisfactory gameplay mechanics. The release was notably rushed, triggered by pressures to meet a deadline before Activision’s license on the intellectual property was set to expire. However, a successful revival came with Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 in 2020, showcasing significant improvements and revitalizing interest in the series.

As we reflect on the franchise’s 25th anniversary, it’s important to note that Tony Hawk himself teased future projects, which may be connected to the remastered game mentioned by Tyshawn Jones. Fans are left speculating whether this teaser could relate to the same remaster or point toward a brand-new title altogether, making the wait for more revelations increasingly tantalizing.

Despite uncertainties about the precise details of the upcoming title—be it a remaster of a classic or something fresh—the community buzz is palpable. One of the most desired subjects of a remaster seems to be Tony Hawk’s Underground and its sequel, renowned for their engaging narratives and innovative features, such as the ability to exit the skateboard.

Regardless of what emerges from the Tony Hawk Pro Skater franchise this year, it will face competition from a new installment in the Skate series, aptly named skate. This upcoming game will adopt a free-to-play model with live-service elements, catering to modern gaming trends. With the confirmation of at least one Tony Hawk Pro Skater title along with the new Skate game, 2025 is poised to be a monumental year for fans of skateboarding video games.
