Following the success of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 on PC and consoles, game fans Tony Hawk were entitled to hope for a return of the license in the long term. But it was without counting on the absorption of Vicarious Visions by Blizzard Entertainment, effective for about two months, which turned Activision’s plans upside down to the point that, according to Tony Hawk himself, the development of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4remaster of episodes 3 and 4 of the series whose existence had “leaked” at the end of May, is suspended.
Potential candidates all failed by Activision
As Gematsu reports, it was during an exchange with the Twitch streamer andyTHPS that the American sportsman released this information. A priori, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 was in the cards but the absorption of Vicarious Visions by Blizzard Entertainment completely changed the game.
Also according to Tony Hawk, Activision tried to find a studio to take over the project but the Californian company was apparently unable to trust potential candidates as much as she did for Vicarious Visions : ” They [les dirigeants de la firme] took pitches from other studios. What would you do with the title? They didn’t like anything they heard. And then that was it. »
In addition to making this disturbing statement about the future of the series, the skateboarder added this: “I wish there was a way to revive it. I mean, who knows? Maybe when things settle down, we’ll know what it’s going to be like. » In short, you will have understood, do not wait for news of the saga for a long time.
