Tony Hawk's Pro Skater comeback 'confirmed' after CoD Black Ops 6 tease by man himself

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Season 2 Reloaded has arrived, and it's seemingly confirmed that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is getting another chance to kickflip into our lives

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 fans have a hefty Season 2 Reloaded update to chew through at present, but one of the most exciting reveals has little to do with the shooter series at all.

One of the new maps, Grind, returns from Black Ops 2 and is centred on a skate park in Venice, California, and some less-than-subtle clues have suggested that the Tony Hawk Pro Skater remasters we reported on earlier this week are pretty likely after all.

Here's what we know so far, including what Tony Hawk himself has said about the project which reportedly involves two fresh remakes or remasters.

Players heading to the skate park map will find a sign that says "03.04.25" in one of the skate shops, suggesting some kind of reveal is coming soon.

The silhouette of a skateboarder can be seen on top, with US date formatting suggesting we'll get something new on March 4 so we don't have long to wait at all.

Given the rumour earlier this week suggested that Microsoft will 'shadow drop' the remasters/remakes of THPS 3 and 4, that could even end up being the day we play them.

Still not convinced? Here's what the skateboarding icon himself had to say.

Hawk himself dropped an 'eyes' emoji in response to CharlieIntel's post on X (formerly Twitter) about the project, which the official Xbox account responded to with another 'eyes' emoji.

It's likely a tacit admission that the reports are on the money, and that we'll get something Tony Hawk related. After all, latest Call of Duty update lets you use a skateboard as a melee weapon.

The news follows on from professional skater Tyshawn Jones appearing on the Breakfast Club podcast and pointing out he's in an upcoming remaster that hasn't been announced yet - oops.

"Im in a Tony Hawk coming out, thats cool, Jones revealed.

They got a new one they remastering so thats about to come out, I was in the last one.

That last one was a pairing of the first two games remade for PS4, Xbox One and PC in 2020 before coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Switch in 2021.

As for these titles, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is considered by many as the pinnacle of the series, bridging the gap between console generations when it launched in 2001. The fourth instalment, which launched a year later, introduced a more laid-back career mode and even Jango Fett from Star Wars as an unlockable character.

Now, where's my Tony Hawk's Underground 1 and 2 port, Activision?
