Evidence of a New Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Game Continues to Surface

Coming 2020

by Liam Croft Tue 5th May 2020

In case you weren't aware, there's more than likely going to be a new Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game this year. Various insiders have hinted at its existence over the past couple of months, but the real evidence is being sourced from bands and skateboarders who are making their inclusion in the title public.

Last month, The Dead Set posted to Facebook that five of its songs would be included in the game before promptly pulling the news. And now professional skateboarder Jason Dill has gone on record in a new interview stating that his song is also part of the soundtrack as well as his own board. You can watch footage of that in the tweet below -- just beware of the expletive towards the end.

We don't think there's any need to beat around the bush anymore. There is most definitely a new Tony Hawk's Pro Skater launching later this year. However, will it be a complete series reboot or a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 6? And when will it be revealed? Microsoft's upcoming third-party Inside Xbox show on Thursday is a good shout, but digital conferences are coming from a variety of sources as part of Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest. We're sure the game will be common knowledge at some point over the next few months.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

Yes yes yes! I actually enjoyed the THPS 5 so this should be good for me no matter how it will end up…

Former pro skateboard and entrepreneur Jason Dill let slip that EA had contacted him about appearing in a new Skate game.

"I got a call from the EA people about 10 months ago, and they said, "Hey, we want to talk about the Skate game." I said, that's fine.

[They] said, basically, "We want to do a mobile version of Skate 3." I wrote back, and I said, "What else?" She wrote back, "No, that's it."

So there you go, SKATE 3 mobile game....

Yes please. Thps5 didn't quite hit the heights of the originals but I didn't think it was anywhere near as bad as some of the reviews suggested

I would honestly be over the moon with a new skating game of any sort but fully licensed. There’s so much potential there and the older Tony Hawk games and Skate both hit the heights but imagine what would be possible next-gen. I’d really love a ground-up remake/reboot set at the height of Tony Hawk’s career with the soundtrack, clothes, levels to match but a modern day one wouldn’t be bad at all. It means they could get big names like Nyjah Huston and Lizzie Armanto but I’d still want the old guard like Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Bob Burnquist etc.
