The Video Games That Helped Define Skate
Culture Have Been Remastered to Engage and Reflect a Bigger, More
Diverse Community
Activision today announced the worldwide launch of its
much-anticipated Tony Hawk’s™ Pro Skater™ 1 and 2, a
remaster of the first two successful titles in the iconic,
billion-dollar Tony Hawk video game franchise.
In one game package, players will experience all the levels,
tricks, and pro-skater characters from the original blockbuster
hits from 1999 and 2000, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and Tony Hawk’s Pro
Skater 2, fully remastered in 4K resolution and bolstered with new
ways to play, new pro-skaters to choose from and new music. In
addition, the game includes features that allow players to
customize their own skate parks and outfits and share them with
friends.
“I’m thankful for the quality and care that Activision and
Vicarious Visions have put into the remaster to revive the Tony
Hawk’s Pro Skater series in the best way possible,” said Tony Hawk.
“For years, fans have asked me about bringing these games back, and
I’m proud to say that we finally have a game that delivers on the
expectations that nostalgic fans want, while inspiring a new
generation to pick up a controller, and perhaps even a real
skateboard.”
Representing the evolution of culture and diversity in
skateboarding today, the game also features the most diverse roster
of playable pro-skaters in a Tony Hawk game to date, featuring the
complete lineup from the original game plus top pros in the world
today including Nyjah Huston, Leticia Bufoni, Aori Nishimura,
Lizzie Armanto, Shane O’Neill, Riley Hawk, Tyshawn Jones and Leo
Baker, the first openly non-binary trans skateboarder in an
Activision game. Skateboarding legends from the original include
Tony Hawk, Bucky Lasek, Steve Caballero, Geoff Rowley, Andrew
Reynolds, Elissa Steamer, Chad Muska, Eric Koston, Rodney Mullen,
Rune Glifberg, Kareem Campbell, Jamie Thomas and Bob Burnquist.
“I met Tony Hawk in 1997 and we have collaborated on building
skateparks, creating broad awareness for action sports and helping
young people around the world find joy and purpose from
skateboarding and skateboarding games,” said Bobby Kotick, CEO of
Activision Blizzard. “He is one of the most dedicated, hardworking,
inspiring athletes I have ever known and I am proud that we have
been able to work together for a quarter of a century.”
The games include fan-favorite tricks from games across the
original franchise, including revert, lip tricks, wall plant and
original multiplayer game modes, both online and offline play. The
classic Create-A-Park and Create-A-Skater modes are back, and
include new features such as a new robust editor for improved
customization.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 is available now worldwide
on PlayStation® 4, PlayStation® 4 Pro, the family of Xbox One
devices from Microsoft including the Xbox One X, and on PC through
