Remasters of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 are on the way.
Earlier this afternoon, Tony Hawk himself sent a number of text messages—no, that's not an error—saying the following:
“Hey I have a surprise and I wanted to tell you first. We are bringing back Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2! Original maps, original skaters and songs from the original soundtrack, plus new features! The game looks awesome and will be officially announced soon.”
Sure enough, there was then a proper reveal, at the Summer Games Fest Surprise reveal, a special event connected to The Game Awards, Geoff Keighley’s annual trailer-jammed, presentation-packed awards show.
Tony Hawk has since tweeted out the official announcement (it’s his birthday today):
The remasters are being done by Vicarious Visions, a studio that has proven itself as a purveyor of rarefied nostalgia, with Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled.
The remasters are being sold as a double-pack, fittingly dubbed Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 (the “+” makes it sounds more skaterish and cool), and will be released on September 4, this year, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
