Sadly, plans to present Professional Skater 3 & 4 an analogous remake therapy had been reportedly scrapped after Activision made the choice to merge developer Vicarious Visions into Blizzard – so it may function a help studio for the Diablo franchise and different titles.
However now, it appears “one thing” Professional Skater associated is on the horizon. Talking on YouTube channel Legendary Kitchen (thanks VGC), Hawks not too long ago revealed, “I have been speaking to Activision once more – which is insanely thrilling – we’re engaged on one thing.”
Hawk would not elaborate on the “one thing” deliberate for the collection’ twenty fifth anniversary, however added, “I want I may let you know extra”. He did, although, tease that no matter it finally ends up being, “It will likely be one thing the followers will really recognize.” Past that, all we all know is Activision not too long ago freshened up its Tony Hawk social media pages forward of the collection’ birthday jamboree.
When Hawk beforehand spoke of the cancelled Professional Skater 3 & 4 remakes, he admitted, “I want there was some approach to carry it again,” including, “When all of the mud settles perhaps we’ll type it out.” Would possibly the challenge have been quietly revived for the collection’ twenty fifth anniversary since then?

Both method, with twenty ninth September looming, it should not be lengthy earlier than we discover out extra.
