Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Social Media Channels Get New 25th Anniversary Branding | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Activision seems ready to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater franchise, as the official Twitter and YouTube pages have been updated with fresh artwork marking the historic moment. Seen below, the image uses a blacked-out version of the Tony Hawk silhouette from the recent Pro Skater 1 + 2 remakes alongside the all-new «25th anniversary THPS» phrasing.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater was originally released for PS1 in the USA on 29th September 1999, so if Activision has any firm plans to celebrate the milestone, they're more likely to be revealed later on in the month. The classic then made its way to Europe three weeks later on 18th October 1999, with Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color, and Dreamcast ports coming a year later.

After the complete failure of Pro Skater 5 in 2015, the series laid dormant until Vicarious Visions came along with the aforementioned remakes of the first two games, bundled together for modern platforms. It's reported Activision rejected remakes of Pro Skater 3 and Pro Skater 4 in favour of further work on the Call of Duty franchise, so whether this new 25th-anniversary celebration could spawn something noteworthy is up in the air. Specifically, the Facebook version of the new branding claims the celebration will take place «all month long», so there could be multiple updates and pieces of news over the coming weeks.

Do you think much of anything will come out of this celebration? Share your hopes in the comments below.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he's found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

Don't give me hope of 3 + 4 remake. Not again.

You'd think now MS own the IP (don't they) they would give the go ahead for a remake of 3 and 4 but again they won't

I always found a 3+4 remake an odd choice. 4 is more like THUG, making 3 DLC for 1+2 would be better in my opinion, it doesn't matter
