Yesterday information broke through skilled skateboarder Tyshawn Jones that a brand new Tony Hawks remaster is within the works and is “about to return out.” Whereas Tyshawn didn’t particularly point out which recreation was being remastered, the apparent assumption was that it might be a mix of Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 3 and 4, to follow-up on the success Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 1+2 remaster from a couple of years in the past.
This assumption has seemingly been confirmed to be correct by a brand new report from Spanish insider eXtas1s. His observe file is considerably combined, however relating to Xbox, and extra particularly Xbox Gamepass, he tends to be pretty dependable.
Talking on his Youtube channel, eXtas1s says that Tyshawn’s feedback helped him piece all the pieces collectively, confirming {that a} undertaking named Venture Chicago is in truth Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 3+4.
However eXtas1s goes a bit additional by saying that he is aware of when it’s popping out. In response to what he’s heard, the remaster will launch in June of this yr. Much more particularly, it’s going to be shadow dropped on the Xbox Showcase taking place that month. He goes on to invest that it’s going to doubtless be obtainable on Recreation Move immediately, and that it’s in all probability going to return to PS5 and Swap 2 as properly.
Please observe, I took the transcript of the video in query and used Google translate to learn by means of what eXtas1s mentioned however haven’t included the precise textual content right here as the interpretation is moderately tough.
All of this simply leaves one query: who’s growing the brand new remaster? Vicarious Visions dealt with Tony Hawk’s professional Skater 1+2 however they have been merged into Blizzard. Nonetheless, the staff does nonetheless exist in the identical workplaces, now going by the identify Blizzard Albany. They’d presumably be the primary selection for dealing with the remaster.
Failing that, there’s a risk that Toys For Bob, a former Activision studio that reached a take care of Microsoft to go impartial, could possibly be dealing with the undertaking as they’ve expertise with the franchise. Though it’s potential that Toys for Bob may at the moment be engaged on a brand new Spyro recreation.
