The iconic franchise that taught so many of us the full lyrics to Goldfinger’s “Superman” and nudged us to grab a skateboard is making a comeback with another remaster. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 is set to drop on July 11 for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.
Following in the footsteps of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2, this revamped edition brings back beloved levels like Foundry, College, and Alcatraz. You’ll also get a taste of new terrains along with fresh tunes added to the nostalgic soundtracks. Expect to see fresh faces among the skaters, complementing the classic roster you already know and love. The game has been modernized with upgraded graphics that cater to high refresh rates and ultrawide monitors. However, if you’re yearning for a trip down memory lane, you can switch back to the old-school visuals for that full nostalgic effect.
Here’s what you need to know about pre-ordering the game, including the different versions, where you can snag your copy, and what each edition brings to the table. For those playing on PC or Xbox, there’s a nice perk: the game is available on launch day for Game Pass Ultimate members.
### Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 and 4 – Standard Edition
The entry-level version, priced at $49.99, doesn’t come with extra goodies. However, if you pre-order before the July 11 launch date, whether it’s a physical or digital copy, you’ll gain access to the Foundry demo. This demo lets you sample two parks and play with skaters to get a feel for the gameplay before the official release. Plus, you can snag an exclusive wireframe Tony shader to add a special touch to the Birdman himself.
### Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 and 4 – Digital Deluxe Edition
If you opt to pre-order the $69.99 Digital Deluxe Edition, you still get the Foundry demo access and the wireframe Tony shader. However, it sweetens the deal with exclusive Doom Eternal-inspired cosmetic extras. You’ll unlock Revenant and Doom Slayer skaters, five new skate decks, and fresh options for your create-a-skater mode. Additional perks include the Unmakyr Hoverboard and some fresh tracks from the Doom Eternal Soundtrack. As a bonus, those who go for this edition can dive into the game three days ahead of the official launch.
### Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 and 4 – Collector’s Edition
For those seeking the ultimate THPS experience, the $129.99 Collector’s Edition is the way to go. This top-tier package includes all the perks of the Digital Deluxe Edition, including the three-day early access. What sets it apart is the limited edition, full-size Birdhouse skateboard. Just a heads-up: you’ll need to provide your own trucks, wheels, and grip tape to get this board ready for action.
There you have it. Whether you’re just stepping into the world of Tony Hawk or are a seasoned player, these remastered games offer something for everyone. Get ready to hit those iconic skate spots once again!
