The critically acclaimed Tony Hawk’s™ Pro
Skater™ 1 and 2 is making its way to PlayStation® 5 and Xbox Series
X|S on March 26 and lands on Nintendo Switch™ for the first time in
2021. Pre-orders for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 on PlayStation®
5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch™ start today in select
territories. (Graphic: Business Wire)
As the fastest Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game to sell 1 million
units2, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 is a faithful remaster of
the first two iconic games in the franchise, blending all the
original levels, pro-skaters, old-school tricks and more that
gamers remember from the ‘90s and 2000s with new, beautifully
recreated levels.
High-fidelity atmospherics will be added to the next-gen upgrade
for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2. This unique graphical feature
will allow players to enjoy the experience of sharper dynamic
shadows, reflections and lens flares, as well as enhanced skater
textures and more on next-gen consoles.
Digital players can upgrade to the Cross-Gen Deluxe Bundle with
all the added features for an additional $10 SRP. The upgrade
includes access to the secret skater Ripper (a.k.a. the infamous
Powell-Peralta mascot), retro gear for Create-A-Skater mode, and
retro skins for Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero and Rodney Mullen.
Additionally, Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI) is giving
fans who already own the digital deluxe version of the game on
PlayStation® 4 and Xbox One a next-gen upgrade at no cost (except
in Japan) on March 26. See www.tonyhawkthegame.com/upgrade for
upgrade details.
Getting to this milestone was no skate in the park. Skateboard
icon Tony Hawk requested the help of videogame icon Crash Bandicoot
to bring the remaster to new platforms, following the announcement
that Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time would be coming to next-gen
platforms and Nintendo Switch™ on March 12. Crash, whose
Bandicoot-branded swag appeared in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2
this past November, leveraged his clout in exchange for a personal
skating lesson from the original birdman himself, resulting in
playful Twitter banter between the two videogame icons.
Pre-orders for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 on PlayStation® 5,
Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch™ start today in select
territories. To learn more about distinct editions, next-gen
feature sets, suggested retail pricing and instructions for
installing, visit www.tonyhawkthegame.com/upgrade.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 is available now for PlayStation®
4, PlayStation® 4 Pro, the family of Xbox One devices from
Microsoft, including the Xbox One X, and on PC through the Epic
platform. For more information about Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2
