During Summer Game Fest 2022, Devolver Digital has revealed a new trailer for Skate Story, which looks as if Tony Hawk were trapped in a fever dream. While skating fans have lots to look forward to, like the upcoming Skate 4, Tony Hawk and his Pro Skater series have remained relatively quiet since the 2020 release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2.

The last time Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise was the center of attention was when the remasters of the two original games came out to a well-deserved positive reception. Fans have been hoping for the news on Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and4, but, unfortunately, the developers at Vicarious Visions were reassigned within Activision Blizzard to work on the Call of Duty franchise. In that regard, the anticipated comeback might never happen, though a new resurgence in skating games means there's still a possibility for new remakes and remasters from the beloved franchise.

While skating through this vividly colored plain of reality, players can destroy other demons and save innocent souls from the unenviable fate of staying in this weird world forever. Skate Story is
