Professional skateboarder Tyshawn Jones is in an upcoming Tony Hawk video game remaster, he told Power 105.1 FM’s The Breakfast Club in an interview today.
When discussing new skateboarding video games, Jones said, “I’m in a Tony Hawk coming out, so that’s cool—they got a new one they’re remastering, so that’s about to come out. I was [also] in the last one [Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2].”
The latest entry in the Tony Hawk video game series, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, launched for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Epic Games Store on September 4, 2020, followed by PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series on March 26, 2021, Switch on June 25, 2021, and PC via Steam on October 3, 2023.
