Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 has been teased for a good number of months on the trot now, but it finally seems like the skating sequels will be dropping in on Switch soon enough after the as-yet-unannounced title received a rating in Singapore (thanks, VGC).
It's exciting news, no doubt, made all the more appealing by the inclusion of Switch in the rating board's console lineup (alongside PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S). And if that wasn't enough for you, the classification claims that all this will come our way at some point in 2025. Now that's pretty bodacious.
You can check out the 'General' IMDA rating in full on the Infocomm Media Development Authority website.

Of course, this won't be all that surprising to those who have been keeping up with the teases and leaks from the skating world in recent weeks. Plans for a Pro Skater 3 + 4 remaster were apparently axed back in 2022 after developer Vicarious Visions was absorbed by Blizzard Entertainment, but the Birdman piqued our interests last year when he announced that he had been "talking to Activision again" ahead of the series' 25th anniversary.
And the teases have only increased of late. Last week, professional skater Tyshawn Jones mentioned an upcoming remaster on an episode of the Breakfast Club podcast, Activision then teased the series' return with a website update, and just yesterday the series' official social media accounts dropped some new art all accompanied by a "03.04.25" date.
If today's rating is anything to go by, expect more news of the GameCube Pro Skaters in the coming weeks.

You're not the same
You've changed
I don't need you anyway
You're not the person that I believed in yesterdaaaaaay
LET'S GO!!
Yes, love to see it - looking forward to what most certainly will be its official confirmation (and so also actually seeing it) on March 4!
This is surprising and very welcome news. I adored these games when I was little. I hope that the cheat code system for TH3 remains - playing as Darth Maul in a mini mall and cruise liner has to be some peek 2000s experience.
Very happy it's coming to Switch! I hope this time they don't compress the music this time and that there's no weird framerate hitches. Those really messed up my combos and movement in 1+2.
Nice, can't wait to get back to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 again even though I still got the original game on GBA and GameCube.
This is exciting news! I somehow missed out on THPS4, probably because it was right around the time where I was getting into actual skateboarding a lot more 🤣
Did these games still have that constant time limit? I bought Pro Skater 1+2 on Switch because I had a lot of fun messing around and exploring in the Underground games as a kid, but having to restart so often in Pro Skater was extremely annoying.
But...this is Iron Galaxy, not VV, right??
So I am totally confused now, What is the deal with New Parks??
God I’m so ready for these, even if 3 and 4’s campaigns will be completely different! Hope the music’s back, 4 had a great mix of heavier tracks and the hip hop, Eyedea and Abilities’ Big Shots and Hot Water Music’s Freightliner on blast 😂
@LikelySatan Yeah Iron Galaxy is doing it due to VV being absorbed into Blizzard and working on Diablo now. Iron Galaxy took over Killer Insinct when Double Helix was bought by Amazon, they did the Switch ports of Skyrim the PS4/Xbox One port of Borderlands 2 and Pre-Sequel and Metroid Prime Remaster. I think if anyone can pull it off like VV it's Iron Galaxy.
@MsMaestroon That would be super cool but they sadly didn’t being Spider-Man back to 1+2
@Tasuki ...and Arkham Knight and TLOU on PC..
They also just axed a bunch of folks as "a last resort." I hope they nail it, but that's all kinda worrying.
Are THPS4 people like Twisted Metal 3 people? Or are they "pizza is pizza" people? THPS4 is up there as one of the most disappointing sequels of all time for me. I don't think it was just that I was done w the series, I remember the levels being like things I could made in the park editor.
After what happened in 2021 with Acti-Blizz, I refuse to give them any money.
I have good memories of Pro Skate 3, but it's not enough to convince me to change my mind.
@Anachronism 3 does, but 4 lets you roam around at your own pace, although contextual timers do kick in when you begin a mission
Awesome. Something I want for sure. Would love to get THUG 1+2 and American Wasteland, but can't complain.
TH 4 is my favorite.
With every Switch 1 game that gets released prior to April 2nd I'm praying more and more that Switch 2 has upgrading/boosting abilities for Switch 1 games...
@BodkinDQ yeah, THUG1 was peak Tony Hawk, for me
@Andee Fun stuff. THUG 2 is my favorite TH game off all, but love me the OG THUG and AW.
Please please please do these games the Justice they deserve. I'm both equally excited and terrified because this is everything I've ever wanted. Please Activision don't mess this up, I'll even buy a call of duty game from you if you do this right!
My Succotash Wish came true ❤️
@LikelySatan I imagine the remake will improve upon its shortcomings and honestly I wish there were more remakes of disappointing games since they definitely could use the potential improvements.
Also there’s surprisingly a LOT of Twisted Metal 3 people active in the fandom now (based on my experience in 2023 anyway)
I've been on the internet for 10 minutes and I keep seeing... good news after good news! What is this, 2007? I almost don't want to close my laptop and end the streak!
@tobsesta99 there's a lot more people acting like Sonic Unleashed was dope too, these days.
watch_me_xplode is back! Turn the Less Than Jake up to 11!
Ooooie what a banger. I'll probably play on gamepass though, assuming it comes to GP
3's my personal favourite, buying it with my Gamecube launch day, good times.
@Olliemar28 Introduced me to Bodyjar, and I could not be more grateful.
I guess I didn't need to buy that copy of THPS3 for GameCube at the retro game store last month
will 3 remaster have darth maul,wolverine,bum,police officer,and she devil in it plus watching the guy behind the counter reaction to those character is hilarious.
anyone know what sneakers he's wearing in that picture?
I need to get those
Hey ho, let's go! Hey ho, let's go!
Hey ho, let's go! Hey ho, let's go!
Jesus, I can't wait for it. Still playing 1+2
I’ll stick with the PS2 version as there will be too much content removed.
Glad to hear this wasn’t scrapped in the end. That said the 1+2 Remake left a lot to be desired with cut content + questionable design decisions.
Good to see them making something else then more Call of Duty games, hope Crash 5 and Spyro is back on the cards!
@Bizzyb are you serious? You act as if the switch was made 20 years ago, and that technology has gotten so much better. What in video game innovation has even given you the thought that this would be remotely possible? A console doesn't have the ability to make an old game(like tetris) play as a brand new or modernized game with improved graphics. If it was possible the word remake in video games wouldn't exist. No video gaming company would even allow that sort of thing cause it would hurt their pockets. Kinda like how they have never released a car or truck tire that would last a lifetime. They have the technology and ability but if everyone bought them, nobody would ever need another one. But seriously make your comment make a little sense as a whole.
