Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 1 + 2 was an actual blast from the previous again in 2020. We have been simply the precise age to fall in love with the unique video games again in 1999 and 2000, and revisiting them 20 years later was a pleasure.
So in fact we wish to see extra traditional Tony Hawk video games get the identical shiny remaster therapy. And it appears like we’d get our want if skilled skater Tyshawn Jones is to be believed.
Showing on the Breakfast Membership podcast (by way of VGC) right now, 18th February 2025, Jones spoke to hosts DJ Envy, Charlamagne tha God, and Loren Lorosa about rising up, video video games, and his skateboarding profession. And when the group is speaking particularly in regards to the “evolution of skateboarding” and skateboarding media, Jones drops somewhat nugget into the dialog.
At round 22:02, Jones says “I am in a Tony Hawk popping out, that is cool. They acquired a brand new one they remastering, in order that’s about to return out. I used to be within the final one.” So it appears like we’re getting one thing, however Activision hasn’t uttered a phrase but.
We’re previous the franchise’s twenty fifth anniversary at this level, and legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk did say he was “speaking to Activision” final yr to say that “we’re engaged on one thing.” Nothing got here of that in addition to the truth that the collection has a “future”, however there’s nonetheless time.
