Tony Hawk Hints at a 25th Anniversary Celebration for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
The legendary Tony Hawk's Pro Skater franchise is turning 25, and Tony Hawk himself has confirmed that Activision is planning something special to commemorate the occasion.
Anniversary Plans Underway
In a recent appearance on Mythical Kitchen, Hawk revealed that discussions with Activision are underway, stating, "We're working on something—This is the first time I've said that publicly." While specifics remain undisclosed, he assured fans that the plans will be "something the fans will truly appreciate."
Past and Present Projects
The original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater launched on September 29, 1999. The franchise's success spawned numerous sequels and, in 2020, a remastered collection of THPS 1+2. While plans for remastered versions of THPS 3+4 were initially underway, they were ultimately canceled following the closure of Vicarious Visions.
Speculation and Social Media Activity
The official THPS social media accounts have been celebrating the anniversary with new artwork and a giveaway of the THPS 1+2 Collector's Edition. This, combined with Hawk's recent comments, has fueled speculation about a potential new game announcement, possibly during a rumored Sony State of Play event. However, the exact nature of Activision's plans remains a mystery. It could be a new game, a continuation of the remastered project, or something else entirely.
