If you’ve been hankering for a return to Tony Hawk’s Underground, you’re not alone — Tony himself is “campaigning” for a remake, too.
“I always have aspirations,” Hawk told ScreenRant. “It’s not up to me generally. I’ll campaign all I can, but I’m working with a much bigger company that’s a lot smarter than me.”
Asked if Activision had given any indication of what may be next once Pro Skate 3 + 4 is released, Hawk kept his cards close to his chest, replying: “We haven’t even released this game [yet]!”
Tony Hawk’s Underground released way back in 2003, getting an impressive 9.2 review score from us at the time due to its “virtually flawless” level design and “stellar gameplay.” For the first time ever in the series, it gave us the chance to get off our boards and explore the expansive levels on foot.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is set to release on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, and Xbox One on July 11, 2025. Activision is putting together the official THPS 3 + 4 playlist on Spotify and continually updating it as it reveals more of the song list — find out the latest in our full soundtrack list right here.
“In a time where it seems like every game from the early 2000’s is getting a modern facelift, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is shaping up to be a welcome addition to a year full of excellent remakes and remasters,” we wrote in IGN’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 first impressions preview.
“From its faithful recreation of what made the PS2-era classics so memorable, to its modern quality of life improvements, excellent soundtrack, and overall love letter to the series’ early days, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is very much something that should be on your radar if you’re a fan of skateboarding, enjoy action sports games, or just want to play something that’s simple and fun. It might be the easiest kickflip you’ll land this year.”
