Summary
- A countdown has been added to the Tony Hawk Pro Skater website, fueling speculation of an upcoming remaster announcement.
- The countdown shares the same date – March 4 – as the tease included in the newest Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 map.
- Iron Galaxy, which worked on the PC port of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2, has been named as a developer on the project
Tony Hawk Pro Skater has been in the news quite a lot recently, as rumors are flying about a potential remastered collection of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 4. First, it was the loose lips of famous skater Tyshawn Jones that gave the game away, as he claimed in a recent podcast that he was part of a remastered Tony Hawk game.
Shortly after that, another tease for Pro Skater news came in one of the least expected places, as a date of March 4 with a Pro Skater logo above it was added to the latest Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 map. It’s pretty clear we’re getting something Pro Skater-related on that date, and now an official countdown has been added to the Pro Skater website to dial the hype up even more.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 4 Remaster Is Now Being Teased By A Website Countdown
First spotted by ResetEra user Nolifebr, this countdown shares the same date as the one included in the Black Ops 6 map – March 4 – and also includes a pretty lengthy timer of over ten days. We don’t get any further information from this countdown, other than the fact that it’s almost definitely a remaster, given that Iron Galaxy is named as one of the developers on the project.
For those unaware, Iron Galaxy has a pretty strong reputation as one of the best developers out there that is brought in for PC ports, and was responsible for porting Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 to PC. It has also had a hand in various remasters over the years, such as Metroid Prime, The Last of Us Part 2, Spyro Reignited Trilogy, and the Crash Bandicoot: N Sane Trilogy.
Now, the real question is what exactly is going to be shown when this countdown reaches its end. It was claimed by a fairly reliable Xbox insider that this game, supposedly codenamed Project Chicago, would shadow drop at Xbox’s big summer showcase later this year, so it’s possible this countdown may not give us a release date just yet. If this insider is correct, chances are it’s just a trailer to show us exactly what’s being worked on.
Either way, it’s good to know that Pro Skater hasn’t been totally abandoned by Activision, and that a new game is on the way. Now let’s just keep our fingers crossed that the multiplayer for this remaster actually still works 6 months after release.
