Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Teases 25th Anniversary Surprise

Tony Hawk Hints at a 25th Anniversary Celebration for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

With the 25th anniversary of the iconic Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series fast approaching, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk has confirmed that Activision is planning something special to mark the occasion. In a recent appearance on YouTube's Mythical Kitchen, Hawk revealed, "I've been talking to Activision again, which is insanely exciting. We're working on something—This is the first time I've said that publicly." While details remain scarce, Hawk assured fans that the project "will be something the fans will truly appreciate."

The Future of THPS: New Game or Remastered Titles?

The original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater launched on September 29, 1999, and the franchise has enjoyed immense success with numerous sequels. The 2020 release of the remastered Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 fueled speculation about potential remasters of Pro Skater 3 and 4. However, the cancellation of this project by the now-defunct Vicarious Visions left the future uncertain. Hawk previously stated that plans for 3 + 4 remasters were halted due to Vicarious Visions' closure and Activision's restructuring.

Anniversary Celebrations and Speculation

The official Tony Hawk's Pro Skater social media accounts have already begun celebrating the 25th anniversary with new artwork and a giveaway of the THPS 1 + 2 Collector's Edition. This, coupled with Hawk's recent comments, has ignited speculation about a potential new game announcement, possibly during a rumored Sony State of Play event this month. However, neither Hawk nor Activision has confirmed whether the anniversary project is a new game or a revival of the canceled remaster initiative. The anticipation remains high amongst fans.
