We’ve got some good news for skateboarding game fans: Legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk revealed during an interview that he’s working with Activision on a new project.
“I wish I could tell you more, but I can tell you that I’ve been talking to Activision again, which is insanely exciting,” he said in an interview with Mythical Kitchen posted Thursday. “We’re working on something. I think it will be something the fans will truly appreciate.”
Recommended Videos Hawk had previously worked with Activision on the Pro Skater series, kicking off the defining skateboarding game franchise. It became a huge hit thanks to its intuitive controls and flexibility in pulling off tricks. It would also go on to produce spinoffs like Underground and American Wasteland.
While it was never officially announced, Hawk revealed the next remake was canceled after the merger. “That was the plan, even up until the release date of ,” Hawk said. “We were doing 3 + 4, and then Vicarious got absorbed, and then they were looking for other developers, and then it was over.” Hawk also took the time during the Mythical Kitchen interview to explain how the Pro Skater series came about. He had been pitching a skateboard game around town with a programmer, but many studios turned down the idea. Hawk said that one studio even told him that skateboarding wasn’t popular enough. Either way, Activision heard he was shopping the idea around and made contact, saying they had a perfect engine for skateboarding. The rest is history.
