Legendary skater Tony Hawk has revealed there were plans to follow up the well-received Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 remake with a similar launch for a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4.
However, these plans were scuppered when Activision merged developer Vicarious Visions into Blizzard – a move which saw the studio re-named to Blizzard Albany and re-emerge as a support studio for the Diablo franchise and other Blizzard titles.
Hawk spoke of the now-scrapped plans in detail for the first time last night, while a guest on a fan Twitch livestream.
“That was the plan,” Hawk said, referring to a potential THPS3+4. “Even up until the release date of [1+2]. We’re going 3+4 and then Vicarious got kind of absorbed and they were looking for other developers, and then it was over.
