Remakes ofTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4have been revealed, after a mysterious countdown appeared on the official website last week. Released in 2001 and 2002, respectively, the original versions ofTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3and4revolutionized the skating gameplay introduced in the first two games. Introducing new tricks, new gear, and, of course, new music, these games furthered the series' legacy as the premiere skating game that defined a generation.
Remakes of the first two games, bundled in a release calledTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, previously impressed in 2020, providing a faithful adaptation of the gameplay that fans loved, with flashier new graphics and an online multiplayer function, allowing friends to skate together worldwide. Now,that’s being followed by the upcoming release ofTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, an adaptation of the next two games in the series along just the same lines,due for release on July 11. Pre-orders are available today via the officialTony Hawk’sseries website.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 Nailed The Remake
The newTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4remakes were revealed in a 90-second trailer(seen above) as soon as the countdown expired. The trailer provides a look at what appears to be very familiar gameplay; it even directly juxtaposes scenes from the upcoming remakes with similar scenes from the original games. Familiar levels, likeTHPS 3’s nighttime take on the neon lights of Tokyo, feature prominently here, as skaters dodge flames and perform death-defying tricks in slow motion.

The first round ofTony Hawk’s Pro Skaterremakeswas a lot of fun. It provided a seamless experience on modern consoles,perfectly transferring that early 2000s nostalgiato players both old and new. Personally, I particularly enjoyed the ability to play online with my long-distance friends.

THPS Remakes Leaked Last Month
The reveal was spoiled a couple of weeks ago, when eagle-eyed fans noticed that the officialTony Hawk’swebsite, hosting a mysterious, untitled countdown clock,contained the text “thps 3 4 countdown” in its HTML source code. Further details allegedly leaked this morning, with some fans, like @billbil_kunon X (formerly Twitter) claiming a release date of July 11, with three days of early access for those who preorder the Deluxe or Collector’s Editions. All that was confirmed when the countdown clock expired, revealing the trailer and preorder structure as promised.
Between this andtheSkaterevival, which recently launched a playtest, we appear to be in a bit of a skating game renaissance. That’s a beautiful thing - this genre has fallen by the wayside in recent years, and, until just recently, it was basically unheard of to see a big, triple-A skating game release. Now, though, it’s becoming more commonplace, and I couldn’t be happier for it. The next round of remakes looks just as cool, and I look forward to being able to play on some new courses whenTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4remakes hit shelves this summer.
