Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 1 + 2 was launched in September of 2020, and in contrast to the “HD” re-releases, 1+2 garnered a level of vital acclaim. It managed to recapture the lightning within the bottle of the unique two releases, and wouldn’t you realize it: they’re nonetheless extraordinarily good video games. Effectively, the two-pack launch is coming again in a brand new format, as an inventory for Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 1 + 2 simply popped up on Steam (beforehand it was hosted by way of the Epic Video games Retailer).

With a launch date of October 3, it’ll additionally launch with a Digital Deluxe Version, which comes with the next junk: “The Digital Deluxe Version contains the whole Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 1 + 2 Sport, ‘The Ripper’ skater from Powell-Peralta, distinctive retro outfits for Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero and Rodney Mullen, and distinctive retro content material for the Create-A-Skater mode.” Vicarious Visions and Iron Galaxy are each listed because the builders for this model.

Extra 1 + 2 out and about is an efficient factor! However there’s nonetheless some unfinished enterprise if we’re simply speaking old-school Tony Hawk re-releases.

Will we ever see Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 3 + 4?

That is an older picture of my Tony Hawk assortment, however I don’t must inform you how a lot I like the collection, and the way unhappy it’s been to see it get so far. One way or the other, Activision introduced the popularity of the franchise again from its filth nap with Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 1 + 2, and are available to seek out out, there was a possible rework of Tony Hawk 3 and 4 in play in 2020. Effectively fast-forward to 2 years later, and people plans have been killed off in accordance with Tony Hawk himself.

If something, 3 + 4 could be a extra attention-grabbing total launch than 1 + 2. 3 is mostly preferred, has a killer soundtrack, and a number of the most attention-grabbing degree layouts within the collection. 4, whereas not as beloved as 1-3, is usually misunderstood, and has loads of distinctive ideas akin to an RPG-like quest format, and free roam in marketing campaign ranges.

This collection prints cash so something can occur: however for now, contemplate it on ice.
