Is there a new Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game coming? Based on recent developments, it sure seems so.
Speculation for a new Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game began when an update in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 teased the return of the beloved skateboarding video game franchise.
Eagle-eyed COD players spotted the THPS Easter egg in a new skatepark map called The Grind. The map featured a banner with the game’s logo and the date “03.04.25.”
Then, the official THPS website launched a countdown clock that is currently counting down to March 4, 2025, signaling that some big news is upon us.
So what exactly could be coming? According to Gamespot, there could be two offerings from Activision, either a remake like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 or a brand new game altogether.
Per Gamespot:
If there’s news coming soon regarding the future of THPS, there are two likely options. The first is another remake like 2020’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, which helped revitalize interest in the games. There have been some predictions that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 could follow. However, a more enticing prospect would be a brand-new Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. The last fully original game in the series to hit consoles was 2015’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5. Additionally, there was a previous report that the next Tony Hawk game could arrive as soon as this summer. Given the timing of the announcement, that seems very plausible.
It’s been a long time since fans of THPS picked up the sticks for a new game in the franchise that first arrived in 1999. The 25th anniversary of the game has already passed, but the legendary skateboarder revealed that he has been in contact with Activision to work on something celebrating the game’s milestone while adding that the skateboarding video game franchise will continue.
We don’t know about y’all, but consider us very hyped about this news.
