This revival of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 cleverly taps into nostalgia with the inclusion of a well-known meme from 14 years ago. As excitement builds among fans of the original series, the engagement with the Doom Doot meme is poised to attract a wider audience beyond just die-hard skateboard enthusiasts.
While rumors about the remake surfaced as early as late February 2025, the official trailer was unveiled on March 4, showcasing a blend of classic tricks and updated skate parks, optimized for the latest consoles and PC technology. Originally crafted by Neversoft, these iconic games from 2001 and 2002 are now being reimagined by Iron Galaxy, a studio recognized for contributing to popular titles like the second and third seasons of Killer Instinct.
What sets Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 apart is its inclusion of characters from the classic 1993 first-person shooter, Doom. The upcoming game has revealed a second trailer that highlights pre-order bonuses in the Digital Deluxe edition, which features both the Doom Slayer and the Revenant, an enemy that made its debut in Doom 2. This interesting crossover allows players to skate with these characters, and in a delightful twist, the Revenant can perform tricks while blasting a trumpet note inspired by the iconic Doom Doot meme.

For those unfamiliar with the jargon of the gaming community, the ‘Doot’ reference may require some context. The term refers to a low-resolution GIF of a skull playing a trumpet, originally created in 1999, that saw a surge in popularity around 2011 across various gaming forums and communities like Steam. Around this time, iterations of the meme proliferated, notably with the Doom Doot adaptation featuring the Revenant character. Other gaming franchises have also embraced nostalgic memes; for example, Xbox’s Halo ODST DOOTS video from 2021 showcased a similar humorous homage.
The Digital Deluxe Edition is not just about nostalgia; it includes an array of bonuses, such as additional skate decks, exclusive Create-a-Skater apparel, bonus music tracks, and the highlight of an Unmaykr Hoverboard, along with three days of early access. With the release approaching on July 11, more gameplay content and features are anticipated to emerge as the launch date nears.
