Skateboarding fans, prepare your hats. Credible speculation for a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4 remaster is circulating. Could we be grinding rails and landing kicks within these classic levels sooner than expected?
Xbox Showcase Surprise? THPS 3+4 Speculation Heats Up
Gaming insider eXtas1s says "Why not?" Talk suggests the highly anticipated remaster may get a shadow drop during the Xbox Games Showcase this June. Imagine tuning into the show and then BAM. THPS 3+4 available for download.
eXtas1s believes a surprise release is planned for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, if real. This extensive platform release means more skaters may potentially partake.
Tyshawn Jones Adds Fuel to the Fire
This rumor gained traction from comments made by pro skater Tyshawn Jones. Just before the wildfire rumors broke, he casually mentioned in an interview that he'd remastered an upcoming Tony Hawk game. Jones participated in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 Remaster, lending credence to his comments.
A Remaster's Rocky History
The THPS 3+4 remaster concept has been an emotional rollercoaster for fans. In 2022, Hawk confirmed a remaster was in development as a follow-up to the Vicarious Visions 1+2 Remaster. However, reports of issues arose when Vicarious Visions was absorbed deeper into Activision Blizzard.
Hawk explained Activision struggled to trust a studio with the project. Pitches were made, but nothing clicked, seemingly ending the 3+4 dream.
Revival on the Horizon? Project Chicago Speculation
Perhaps this time is different. The new rumor and Tyshawn Jones' comments suggest a possible revival by Activision. Could "Project Chicago," mentioned online, refer to this remaster? It appears likely.
Microsoft's shadow drop game history is strong, including Hi-Fi Rush and Ninja Gaiden 2 Black. Could Tony Hawk be next? For fans awaiting THPS 3 and 4, June cannot come fast enough. Fingers are crossed, boards are waxed, and readiness is key to drop into classic skate parks.
