If you're hoping to see more remasters of classic Tony Hawk skateboarding games, you're not alone. Tony Hawk himself wants that, too, but he clarified in a new interview that it's not up to him.
Asked by Screen Rant if there could one day be a remaster of Tony Hawk's Underground (2003), Hawk said he has "aspirations" for this, but admitted, "It's not up to me generally."
That being said, Hawk said he'll make it his mission to "campaign all I can" to make it happen. But ultimately, Hawk said Activision will get to make the call. "I'm working with a much bigger company that's a lot smarter than me," he said.
Hawk added that there has been no talk as of yet about a remaster of Underground, adding that the success of Pro Skater 3 + 4 might dictate what happens with regards to the future of the series.
Activision already released remakes of Pro Skater 1 + 2 back in 2020. That game was a success commercially, and the next two games are coming out in a remake package this July.
Underground, meanwhile, was developed by Neversoft and mixed things up by allowing players to create their own character and walk on foot to explore levels. A sequel followed in 2004.
The skateboarding series is now owned by Microsoft, which itself owns Activision following its blockbuster $75.4 billion acquisition of the company.
