Fans of the Birdman (that’s Tony Hawk) got quite the shock earlier this year in April when it was revealed the THPS developer Vicarious Visions had been absorbed by Blizzard Entertainment.

Concerns were raised about the future of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series at the time, and if remasters of the third and fourth game would ever see the light of day. Sfortunatamente, Tony Hawk has now confirmed they’re likely not happening.

Speaking on a Twitch stream recently (andyTHPS), Tony shared an upfront statement about the current situation:

I wish I could say we had something in the works, but you know Vicarious Visions kind of got disbanded and Activision’s going through all their stuff, so I don’t know what’s next…”

When asked about Pro Skater 3 + 4 remasters, ha detto:

“I mean, that was the plan, even up until the release date of this [Pattinatore professionista Tony Hawk 1 + 2] we were going 3 e 4, and then Vicarious got kind of absorbed and they were looking for other developers and then it was over.

Tony briefly elaborated on this, when asked about Activision’sfaithin the future of the series:

The truth of it is, essi [Activision] were trying to find someone to do 3 + 4, but they just didn’t really trust anyone the way they did Vicarious, so they took other pitches from other studios, come “what would you do with the THPS titleand they didn’t like anything they heard, and that was it.

Tony still hopes that the series could return, but it’s probably best not to expect any related announcements in the near future.

After being merged into Blizzard, Vicarious Visions worked on Diablo II: risorto, released last September. When Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 finally made its debut on the Nintendo Switch last June, we praised itlabelling it a rock-solid Switch port and awarding it an “eccellente” nove stelle su dieci.
