The soundtrack for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 might be its most modern feature

The soundtrack has been an integral part of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise since the game’s inception, since you’ll no doubt hear each song countless times as you memorize level layouts and perfect skating lines.

Activision has released the soundtrack for the upcoming Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 and while there are plenty of punk and hip-hop tracks, fans hoping to revisit some of their favorite songs are going to find themselves disappointed. The soundtrack features 32 songs – the most of any game in the series to date – but they’re all brand new.

Earlier this month a new art style was revealed for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5, adding a cel-shaded look to the game’s characters. Fans who had been disappointed in the trailer for the game released in July didn’t find that the new look did much to change their opinions. While the soundtrack features a mix of well-known and under-the-radar bands, it remains to be seen how longtime fans will react.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One hits store shelves on September 29, and will feature 20-person multiplayer. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 version of the game, which lacks multiplayer, hits on November 10.

Something Tony Hawk Pro Skater-related is coming March 4

Tony Hawk Pro Skater fans have longed for a remaster of the third and fourth games ever since the success of the first two, but hopes were dashed in 2022 when the game was supposedly canceled — but now a countdown has appeared on the website that ends on March 4.

While the countdown could end with an announcement of the next game in the series, fans theorize it's actually the long-awaited remaster. The text "thps-3-4-countdown" was reportedly found in the website's backend code, but has since been removed according to VGC. The website lists Iron Galaxy as one of the developers — the same studio responsible for the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 remaster — furthering the evidence that the announcement will be a remaster instead of a sequel.

On September 29, the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series will turn 25 years old. Released in 1999 for the original PlayStation, the Pro Skater games would leave an everlasting mark on the video game industry and skateboarding culture. Not only would they create a long-lasting series for Activision, but they would also popularize extreme sports games, open the doors for the use of licensed music in games, and create an on-ramp to skating culture for a whole generation. Over the last 25 years, the series has gone through lots of ups and downs, with its most recent release being 2020's Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, a remaster of the first two games in the series.

Since then, it has been quiet on the Pro Skater front outside of a cameo in Astro Bot, but Activision is using its 25th anniversary to reassure fans that it recognizes the series' importance. In an exclusive interview with Digital Trends, Activision Chief Operating Officer Josh Taub said that the company has "heard the demand" for more Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and still considers the series one of its important core franchises in 2024.
