Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is alive and it’s coming this summer

Tony Hawk's™ Pro Skater™ 3 + 4 | Reveal Trailer

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 will launch on July 11 (or July 8 if you pre-order its deluxe editions) for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. It will be available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass PC at launch. The remake package will include new skate parks for the first time in 10 years.

The five year road to the release has been long. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 launched in 2020 to critical acclaim, immediately fueling speculation for more remakes. Those dreams were squashed when developed Vicarious Visions was merged into Blizzard in 2021 and converted into a support studio. The next year, Tony Hawk himself claimed that remakes of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 were planned, but halted after the move.

Now, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is a reality with a new studio at the helm. Iron Galaxy Studios, the team behind Rumbleverse and Killer Instinct, is behind this package.

Activision dropped two trailers which show off the remakes’ visual overhaul and reworked skateparks. Classic locations like the airport and Canada make an appearance in the first trailer while Motorhead’s Ace of Spades plays. The soundtrack will feature other songs from the original games, including Adolescents’ Amoeba and CKY’s 96 Quite Bitter Beings, as well as newly added songs.

The second trailer, which shows off a redesigned Foundry, is focused on the Digital Deluxe edition, which gives players a whole bunch of Doom-themed goodies. That edition adds Doom decks and clothing, as well as Doom Slayer and a Revenant as skaters. Those who pre-order the Digital Deluxe edition can start playing the game on July 8. It will also get a Collector’s Edition, which includes all of the same perks, plus a full-size Birdhouse skate deck and a printed Tony Hawk autograph.

Those who pre-order the standard edition won’t get early access, but they will get a Wireframe Tony Shader as well as access to a demo in June that lets players try the Foundry park. The demo will not be available on Nintendo Switch.

As for other new features, the remake bundle will feature some brand new parks. A few new skaters are joining the original roster too, including Rayssa Leal, Chloe Covell, Jamie Foy, Zion Wright, and Yuto Horigome.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4‘s standard edition launches on July 11 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is here, and it's a punch straight in the nostalgia gut. In it, you'll be skating around and maximizing your combos, of course, but there are also a handful of collectibles to get your hands on in most levels. One type of collectible is the alien plushy, and they're cleverly hidden in the most obscure locations around each stage. They're not easy to find, but we've got the locations of all 19 alien plushies in this guide -- along with detailed videos to help you find each one.

Finding all 19 will get you access to the coveted Roswell Alien character, who looks absolutely bonkers doing tricks on a half-pipe -- but that's what makes him so cool. We'll also walk you through getting your hands on Roswell after you've collected all the plushies because the game doesn't make it obvious.
