⚫︎ Developer Iron Galaxy has announced that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 will feature select objectives from Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 within its New Game Plus mode. These missions were previously believed to be omitted due to the remake’s use of the classic two-minute timer, a departure from THPS 4’s original open-ended objective system.

While the remaster adopts the goal-oriented timed runs from THPS 1+2 and THPS 3, this contrasts with THPS 4’s initial mission-based progression, where players received tasks from NPCs without time constraints.

⚫︎ Tony Hawk has responded to fan feedback about the soundtrack for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, clarifying that the decision to include fewer legacy tracks was his own. In an Instagram post, Hawk stated he deliberately curated a blend of fresh music and familiar artists—including alternate songs from performers on the original THPS 3 and 4 soundtracks.

“It was my choice to pick some different songs by the same artists featured in THPS3+4 OST,” he explained. “I’m hoping that discovery is half the fun, and a big reason that these soundtracks resonated in the first place. So listen and enjoy the ride. More to come… both old and new.”

⚫︎ Contrary to earlier reports, Bam Margera might still appear in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4. Although Activision’s initial roster announcement omitted him—making Margera the only classic skater from THPS 3 and 4 not included—a recent statement from The Live Club podcast suggests Tony Hawk personally stepped in.

Co-host Roger Bagley claimed that Hawk reached out to Activision after development was reportedly finalized, advocating for Margera's inclusion. While Activision has not officially confirmed this, the claim suggests Margera could have been added late in the process.

⚫︎ Officially announced on March 4, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is a complete remake of the originals, modeled after the approach of 2020’s THPS 1+2. Developed by Iron Galaxy, the game arrives this July and will include beloved maps, music, skaters, and tricks from THPS 3 and 4. However, Activision has revealed a significant shift for THPS 4’s career mode—instead of the open-world design of the PS2 version, levels will use the timed, goal-driven format from the earlier installments.
