Tony Hawk has parted ways with Activision, and the future of Pro Skater just got a little bit more depressing
Still hoping 𝓡for a proper, new Tony Hawk game? The Birdman himself has sꦺome bad news....

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 came out in 2015, but I won’t hold it against you if you’ve successfully blocked the memory out of your mind. It was a lazy half-remake riddled with bugs and ba🐲ffling controls, and apparently the final naiꦦl in the coffin for the once beloved skating game franchise from Activision.
That’s because recently revealed that he’s “amicably” cut 💎ties with Activision after t💃heir contract ended in 2015, with current indicators of a renewed working partnership.
The professional skateboarder announced the news on Twitter in response to fans repeatedly asking him about Pro Skater remasters, explaining that he’d personally be moﷺre than ready and willing to make them if he possessed “the skills/authority to reboot servers or code games for newer systems.”
To anyone asking me to 'remaster" old games, or complaining about THPS servers being down: Activision owns the THPS license but I am no longe✅r working with them. If I had the skills / authority to reboot servers or code games for newer systems on my own, I would be happy to...
Sadly, he’s not quite as adept at game development as he as at gnarly BS 180 heelflips, and Activision apparently isn’t interested in helping him out. That’s strange, given that there’s a clear appetite for 😼new skating games amongst a sizeable audience.
Just look at the whoppingly successful ; an in-the-works indie skateboarding sim that promises to be a spiritual successor to Skate 3 - although we're still waiting for Skate 4...
To be clear, ꦯthere doesn’t seem to be any bad blood between Hawk and Activision, and the former says he is “forever grateful” for his working relationship with the latter. It&rs💫quo;s just, despite his expressed desire to keep making games, Activision owns the Pro Skater IP, and that’s that for now.
To clear up a few things about THPS: I worked closely with Neversoft on our series to provide ideas & authenticity (without writing code), & I am forever grateful to Activision for 2 decades of support; my contract with them ended amicably in 2015. A𝄹nd THANK YOU to all the fans!
Does this mark the unceremonious e♈nd of Tony Hawk video games for good? Well, curiously, Hawk told the website last year that he was “potentially working on something”, though the details of which remain under secrecy for now.

More hopeful news comes via♊ , the publishers behind hit motorbike PC game Descenders, which has recently expressed interest in working with Hawk for a new skateboarding experience, should he be u🌟p for it.
, founder of RageSquid, penned a mini, open letter to Hawk explaining that the Descenders developers “plan ꧂to tackle skateboarding next” and they’d love to bring him on board. Interesting…
If any☂ more news arrives for now, it’ll be via Hawk’s upcoming documentary, Pretending I'm a Superman: The Tony Hawk Video Game Story, which is scheduled to come out sometime next y🌺ear. The Birdman may still fly again yet.
