Did anyone expect Tony Hawk games remastered in this year of 2020? Well, Tony Hawk himself, and Vicarious Visions have come together to remaster the first two games of the critically acclaimed Tony Hawk franchise – Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2! The games will blend the original levels, pro-skaters, old-school tricks and everything else ’90s and 2000’s gamers remember in new, beautifully recreated levels.
The remastered Tony Hawk games will be available in one package for Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Epic coming 4 September 2020.
“The original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series is a big factor in the evolution of modern skateboarding tricks and inspiring many of the pro skaters you know and love today.”
“I’m excited to help inspire a new generation of skateboarders and gamers – and existing fans – to grow the sport even further.”

Find fan-favourite features from games across the original franchise, including revert, lip tricks, wall plant and original multiplayer game modes, both online and for local couch play. Create-A-Park and Create-A-Skater modes are back too, with Create-A-Park now with a more robust editor with new ways of customizations, which they can then later share online. Skaters will also have customization options.
If you rather pick your favourite skaters, you have that too from the original roster of pro talent including Tony Hawk, Bucky Lasek, Steve Caballero, Geoff Rowley, Andrew Reynolds, Elissa Steamer, Chad Muska, Eric Koston, Rodney Mullen, Rune Glifberg, Kareem Campbell, Jamie Thomas and Bob Burnquist. New features to the remaster include even more goals than before, added challenges to amp up gameplay and more.
“Getting the chance to bring back the original two games which had such a meaningful impact not only on gaming, but on an entire sports genre, has been an epic experience for our team, many of whom worked on the original series.”
“We’re taking what you knew and loved from the original games and mixing that with enhanced creative tools which will allow gamers to invent brand new ways to play the game they love. We’re confident it will be the ultimate Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater experience fans have been asking for.”
