Only in the near past, former skilled skateboarder Tony Hawk confirmed that he was “speaking to Activision once more” with reference to his titular online game franchise. Whereas we might confidently assume that this meant future entries have been seemingly within the works, we now have additional affirmation from the Birdman himself through Instagram (thanks, VGC).
Posted within the final 24 hours on the time of writing, Hawk celebrated the twenty fifth anniversary of the unique Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater, launched on twenty ninth September 1999 for the PS1, with an N64 model following quickly after. He ended the submit with a tantalising tease on a possible new recreation, stating “I’m not speculated to tease anything about the way forward for the collection; however there can be a future”.
It is virtually a affirmation of a brand new entry at this level, proper? What type that takes, nonetheless, is up within the air in the mean time. May or not it’s the remake of Professional Skater 3 and 4 that we have all been hoping for? Maybe a sixth official mainline title? Or perhaps a brand new Tony Hawk: RIDE? Please, no…
Regardless, it is getting us fairly excited. After the catastrophe of Professional Skater 5, the collection momentarily received again on monitor with the Vicarious Visions-developed remake, Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 1 + 2. Alas, whereas that individual workforce isn’t any extra, it appears like Activision-Blizzard is hoping to revive the franchise within the not-too-distant future.
