Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Remaster Rumors Grow After Tyshawn Jones Podcast Reveal

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Remaster Rumors Grow After Tyshawn Jones Podcast Reveal Ever since Activision delivered Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 in 2020, fans of the iconic skateboarding franchise have clamored for more remastered classics.

With the Nintendo Switch release in 2021, the collection introduced a new generation to the exhilarating gameplay that first set the skate world alight in 1999 and 2000.

Now, new momentum is building after pro skateboarder Tyshawn Jones, who was featured in the remaster, shared insights during a recent interview. During a February 18, 2025 appearance on The Breakfast Club podcast, Jones discussed his career, the evolution of skateboarding, and video game culture.

When asked about developments within skateboarding media, Jones remarked, "I'm in a new Tony Hawk game that's coming out.

They're working on another remaster, so that's on the horizon.

I was also in the last one." While publisher Activision has not officially commented or confirmed details about additional releases, Jones's statement adds to the anticipation within the gaming community. This follows comments made by Tony Hawk himself in recent years.

In 2024, Hawk publicly stated he was having ongoing discussions with Activision about future titles, a sign that the franchise continues to have an active development pipeline.

With the series having recently surpassed its 25th anniversary, the brand's continued relevance is evident both in sales and fan engagement. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 was a commercial and critical success upon launch, selling over one million copies within its first few weeks and expanding its reach through ports like the Nintendo Switch edition.

The remaster brought modern visuals, updated features, and a fresh roster—including Tyshawn Jones—to a beloved formula, reigniting enthusiasm for classic skateboarding games.

These achievements further solidify Vicarious Visions’ (now part of Blizzard Entertainment) reputation as expert remaster developers, under Activision’s leadership. While neither a new title nor a specific remaster—such as the highly requested Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4—has been formally confirmed for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, or other platforms, Jones's comments strongly suggest that Activision remains committed to investing in this storied franchise.

Any future Nintendo Direct or eShop listing could be met with substantial excitement, especially given the series' enduring popularity among Switch users. For now, fans can revisit Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 via major platforms while eagerly watching for official news.

The franchise's enduring legacy, the involvement of renowned skaters like Tyshawn Jones, and the continued engagement of Activision all point toward a thriving future for skateboarding games.

Stay tuned to industry developments and skateboard gaming news for updates on Tony Hawk's next big release.
