Ever since the successful launch of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 in 2020, fans have been hoping Activision would greenlight a modern remaster of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 in a single package. The idea of THPS 3+4 has gained traction in the skate game community—but as of now, it remains unconfirmed.
Here’s what we currently know, what’s been said publicly, and what a potential remaster could realistically include.
Is Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Officially in Development?
No. As of 2025, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 has not been officially announced by Activision Blizzard.
In a 2022 livestream, Tony Hawk confirmed that discussions had taken place about remastering THPS3 and THPS4 after the success of THPS 1+2, but that plans became uncertain following the absorption of Vicarious Visions (the original remaster studio) into Blizzard Albany.
Since then, there have been no formal announcements, no release date and no confirmed platforms.
Why the Demand Is So High
Fans consider THPS3 and THPS4 the mechanical peak of the Tony Hawk franchise.
THPS3 introduced:
-
The revert mechanic (allowing vert → manual combo chains)
-
Faster game feel and refined physics
-
Standout levels like Foundry, Suburbia and Los Angeles
THPS4 added:
-
An open, free-roam structure (no 2-minute timer)
-
Spine transfers and skitching
-
Ambitious levels (Alcatraz, College, Zoo) with deeper goal variety
A modern THPS 3+4 remaster would essentially blend combo depth with open-level design — the best of both eras in one collection.
What a THPS 3+4 Remaster Would Likely Include (Based on THPS 1+2)
| Feature | Expected / Desired |
|---|---|
| 4K visuals / 60–120 FPS | ✅ Likely |
| Classic physics w/ optional modern assists | ✅ Likely |
| Online cross-play | ✅ Highly requested |
| Ranked & casual playlists | ✅ Likely |
| Create-a-Park / Create-a-Skater 2.0 | ✅ Community expectation |
| Cross-save & cross-progression | ✅ Strong demand |
| Original+new soundtrack | ⚠️ Likely mixed (licensing limits) |
Which Platforms Are Most Likely?
If announced, a THPS 3+4 remaster would almost certainly target:
-
PlayStation 5 / Xbox Series X|S
-
PC (Steam / Epic)
-
Nintendo Switch (with scaled visuals)
Cross-play and cross-progression would likely follow the precedent set by THPS 1+2, which released on every major system.
⏱ So When Might It Be Announced?
There are no confirmed timelines. Realistically, any reveal would most likely happen at one of the major industry shows:
✅ Summer Game Fest
✅ The Game Awards
✅ PlayStation / Xbox / Nintendo showcases
Tony Hawk himself has occasionally teased future projects on social media, so his official accounts remain the best early indicator of any activity.
🎯 How to Play THPS3 & THPS4 Today (Legally)
| Option | Details |
|---|---|
| Original consoles (PS2 / GameCube / Xbox) | Best for authentic experience |
| Retail PC versions | Works w/ community patches (legal ownership required) |
| THUG Pro mod (fan-made) | Adds THPS3&4 levels to THUG2 PC (requires original copy) |

❓FAQ Highlights
Is THPS 3+4 confirmed?
No — only discussed in the past, never officially announced.
Is there a release date?
No. Any dates online are speculative unless confirmed by Activision.
Who would develop it?
Unknown. Vicarious Visions (now Blizzard Albany) handled THPS 1+2, but Activision hasn’t confirmed a developer.
Will the original soundtrack return?
Probably partially — licensing makes a full, unchanged soundtrack unlikely.
Bottom Line
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is one of the most requested remasters in modern gaming. While there is no official confirmation as of today, industry precedent and fan demand make it a realistic possibility. Until Activision or Tony Hawk announce something concrete, the best way to experience the spirit of THPS3 and 4 is through the THPS 1+2 remaster, original hardware, or community-supported legacy projects.
Stay tuned to official channels and major industry events — if THPS 3+4 becomes a reality, it’s likely to land with a major reveal and tight marketing timeline.
