Skating games, a video game genre that was widely popular in the ’90s, seems to make a comeback with releases such as SkateBird and Skater XL
So, it’s inevitable that one of the most popular trailblazers of the genre, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, is making a comeback
On May 12th, 2020, remasters of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 have been announced via a post on the skater’s twitter account:
#THPS is back! Original maps, original skaters, and songs from the original soundtrack… plus new features. Thanks to all the fans of our series for keeping this dream alive. https://t.co/uqEeD0kjWc

The remaster collection is being developed by Vicarious Vision, who also did a remaster collection of another beloved ’90s video game series: Crash Bandicoot
According to the game’s website, The collection will be “rebuilt from the ground up in incredible HD” and includes “all the pro skaters, levels and tricks” that players grew to love.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is currently available for pre-order for Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Epic Game Store with a release date of September 4th, 2020, and players who pre-order will have early access to a demo of the iconic warehouse level.
It’s also worth pointing out that this announcement came out on Tony Hawk’s 52nd birthday, so it would be an understatement to say that Tony Hawk is a gift to the world.
Happy belated birthday, Birdman!
