The legendary skateboarding franchise is back for another round of remasters with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, bringing the two classic entries to the modern era (it’s available to preorder now). It’s in the same vein as 2021’s remasters in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 with modern graphics and familiar gameplay, but this time it’s being done by developer Iron Galaxy (known for porting games and original releases such as Rumbleverse and Killer Instinct).
As far as content goes, it will feature all the skate parks from both games as well as a new one teased at the end of the THPS 3 + 4 reveal trailer – it’s a new level called Waterpark and looks to be a large, abandoned…well, waterpark! with a lot of verticality and rides, ramps, and railings making up the level. Skaters from the previous remaster will return in addition to another batch of newcomers including Rayssa Leal, Chloe Covell, Jamie Foy, Zion Wright, and Yuto Horigome.
While it’s confirmed that there will be new songs for the soundtrack, those have yet to be revealed. However, we know several songs you remember from the old games will return for the soundtrack, and while the full list hasn’t been revealed yet, here are the confirmed tracks:
- “Amoeba” by Adolescents
- “Ace of Spades” by Motorhead
- “Mass Appeal” by Gang Starr
- “96 Quite Bitter Beings” by CKY
- “Not the Same” by Bodyjar
- “Outta Here” by KRS-One
There will be cross-platform online multiplayer for up to eight players, and a robust version of the Create-A-Park mode where players can make and share their own custom skateparks.
THPS 3 + 4 isn’t too far off – the remaster of THPS 3 + 4 is set to launch on July 11 this year for PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam, Microsoft Store, and Battle.net). The game will be available on day one through Xbox Game Pass, and those who preorder the deluxe or collector’s edition can access the game early on July 8.
The standard version is $49.99, while the deluxe edition is $69.99 and comes with the Doom Slayer and Revenant skater skin, exclusive in-game decks and create-a-skater items as well as additional songs for the soundtrack (like the original Doom E1M1 theme song done by a full band). The collector’s edition is $129.99 and includes all the aforementioned bonuses, but also comes with an exclusive physical skate deck by Birdhouse.
Those who preorder now can get access to a playable THPS 3 + 4 demo starting today; it includes two skaters and two parks along with a few songs from the soundtrack.
