If you were hoping that Activision Blizzard would continue with a remaster and bundle together a third and fourth game into a single bundle, consider your hopes dashed. Activision has an array of other games it is long due to bring back, and the series has an established track record: It seems a natural fit for a new video game. EA is working on a new skateboarding game, but little has been shown publicly yet, and it is not clear yet when that is going to release. It is entirely possible we might see a new Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater title by another developer at some point in the future, but confirmations are making it look like it is going to be quite a while. The highly-received remakes of THPS 1+2’s first two games captured and enhanced their spirit beautifully, and were an amazing, nostalgia-filled surprise for Fall 2020. This was followed up with a remake of the first two games for 2020, which was widely praised for accurately recreating what made the series so great. The final mainline title in the series, Pro Skater 5, received poor reviews from critics and fans, being the leading candidate on many worst games of 2015 lists. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 remasters were in the works but they were scrapped after Vicarious Visions was merged into Blizzard. Speaking during a Tony Hawks Pro Skater Twitch stream last weekend (as noted by Okami Games), Birdman himself suggested that, although additional remasters were planned, merged developer Vicarious Visions has certainly read the idea and perhaps shelved it. Tony Hawks’ own statements basically meant that while Vicarious Vision wanted to keep working on the series, in the end, Activision Blizzard was the one pulling the plug, although Activision ended up looking into offers from outside sources anyway.
