Tony Hawk’s Underground Remaster: What Fans Can Expect Following Pro Skater 3 + 4’s Switch Launch The Tony Hawk franchise, a cornerstone of skateboarding games, continues to experience a robust revival.

Activision’s commitment to revitalizing the series has yielded impressive results, with Vicarious Visions’ remasters of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 setting the benchmark in 2020.

The franchise’s momentum remains strong as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is officially slated for release on July 11, 2025, for the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2, bringing new energy to Nintendo platforms and delighting fans who grew up with these iconic titles. With the arrival of the Pro Skater 3 + 4 remaster, long-standing fans are eager to know which classic entry might be next in line for an update.

Among the most requested is Tony Hawk’s Underground, a beloved installment that introduced narrative-driven gameplay and open-world exploration, marking a pivotal shift in the series.

While no official plans for a remaster have been announced, Tony Hawk himself addressed the topic in a recent interview with Screen Rant. Tony Hawk shared that while he is always ambitious about seeing more of his classic games remastered, the decision lies with larger stakeholders.

Paraphrasing his comments, Hawk explained that although he continues to advocate for revisiting Tony Hawk’s Underground, ultimately, the decision is in the hands of the publisher and developers—teams "much smarter" than himself, he noted with humility.

As of now, Tony Hawk’s Underground is not currently in official discussions for a remaster. However, Hawk also emphasized that the prospects for a remaster could be heavily influenced by the commercial performance of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 on the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.

The success of these updated entries could significantly shape the direction of future projects, potentially including a Tony Hawk’s Underground remaster. Activision and Vicarious Visions have established a proven track record with their previous releases, with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 selling over one million units in its first two weeks—making it the fastest-selling entry in the franchise’s history.

With Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 now confirmed for both current and upcoming Nintendo hardware, fans are encouraged that Activision’s renewed focus on classic skateboarding games may pave the way for further remasters. As the gaming industry anticipates the Nintendo Switch 2 and its expanded capabilities, the arrival of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 sets the stage for a new chapter in the beloved series.

As history and sales figures have shown, continued fan support and robust performance will be key factors in determining whether Tony Hawk’s Underground will get its long-awaited modern update.
