"The original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was released exactly 25 years ago today," and Tony Hawk has some heartfelt words for all his fans.
It's a small, 'best-I-can-say-right-now' nugget of hope, but for those uncertain about the future of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, it's a significant ledge to grab onto.
Plenty Of Games And A Celebrated Remake Have Kept Fans Playing
As a franchise, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater has had plenty of games - but they're few and far between as of late. And even then, recent entries have lacked the gravitas of those from the early 2000s.
Its most recent game, a remake of the first two Pro Skater titles, made our top 10 list of all-time great remakes - but a recreation isn't quite the same thing as a new game. Reportedly, a remake of the third and fourth game was also in the works, but got canceled.
That remake is four years old. Before that, a free mobile game was released in 2018. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 was released nine years ago, thirteen years after Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (feel old yet?).
