For these with fingers crossed that the third and fourth instalments of Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater may get a remake, there’s unhealthy information. In response to Tony Hawk himself, talking on a Twitch livestream, remakes for each had been nonetheless deliberate as late as the discharge date of Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 1+2 (opens in new tab), however as a result of merging of remake studio Vicarious Visions with Blizzard, the venture was shelved.
“That was the plan,” Hawk stated in the course of the livestream (opens in new tab), when discussing the potential for additional instalments or remakes. “Even up till the discharge day of this [the remakes of 1 and 2], we had been going 3 and 4. Then Vicarious bought absorbed, after which they had been in search of different builders. After which it was over.”
As soon as Vicarious Visions was out of the image, Activision tried to recruit one other studio to work on the remake initiatives. “[Activision] had been looking for any person to do 3 and 4 however they only didn’t actually belief anybody the best way they [trusted] Vicarious,” Hawk stated. “In order that they took different pitches from different studios: ‘What would you do with the THPS title?’ And so they didn’t like something they heard, after which that was it.”
If that is unhappy for Tony Hawk lovers, Tony Hawk himself would not sound too happy, both. “I want there was some option to carry it again,” he stated, including that possibly “when the mud settles we’ll determine it out.”
Launched in 2020, the remakes of Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 1+2 had been a roaring success, to the extent that extra instalments—whether or not extra remakes or a complete new sport—appeared inevitable. That was compounded by the drummer for CKY confirming final 12 months (opens in new tab) that the band would seem on a forthcoming Tony Hawk soundtrack.
Shortly after the Tony Hawk 1+2 remake shipped, Vicarious Visions was merged (opens in new tab) into Blizzard Leisure. All employees moved into roles that had been “totally devoted to current Blizzard video games and initiatives.”
