“Modern-day skateboarding originated from a generation of
skaters who grew up playing the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater
games,” said Michelle Bresaw, Vice President of Product Management
and Marketing at Activision. “The world-class pro skaters we’re
adding to this remaster took the tricks and combos from the
videogame and made them possible in real life. We’re proud that the
remaster will represent the skate culture landscape today with a
diverse roster of skaters that will appeal to any gamer.”
While some of the new pros have appeared in past Tony Hawk’s Pro
Skater games, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 will mark the
first time that they will grind, ollie and kickflip in the first
two games from the franchise. What’s more, Activision, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc., (NASDAQ: ATVI)
announced today that this A-list of new talent will bring their own
signature tricks, in full HD glory, to all the levels and gameplay
features that fans love about the games. Here’s some cool gameplay
of the new skaters in action in the game.
Fans can pre-order Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 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. Those that pre-order the game digitally will get
access to the Warehouse Demo starting on August 14, 2020, ahead of
the game’s official launch.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 remasters the first two
games in the Tony Hawk franchise into one awesome package. The game
will blend all the original levels, old-school tricks and more that
gamers remember with beautifully recreated levels to provide fans
with stunning gameplay experiences. The game will also integrate
fan-favorite features from games across the entire original
franchise, not just the first two games, including revert, lip
tricks, wall plants and original multiplayer game modes, both
online and for local couch play. Create-A-Park, featuring a robust
editor to enable new ways of customization, and Create-A-Skater
modes are also back with the remaster! Players will be able to
share parks online with friends and outfit skaters with
customization options.
The base version of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 will
be available worldwide for the suggested retail price in the U.S.
of $39.99. A digital deluxe version that includes unique content
and in-game gear will be available for the suggested retail price
of $49.99. For the ultimate fan, a collector’s edition will be
