Hawk revealed last year that he was working with Activision, the publisher of the original series, on a new skateboard game. He said that “fans of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series will be excited” back then, and they certainly had plenty of time to simmer.

Just because the year of release and the platform has been confirmed on the Sony stage doesn’t mean that it will be exclusive to PlayStation platforms. This may indicate a deeper collaboration between the two companies, however – Destiny (which Activision also released) had a big presence when it debuted on PS4 in February 2013, and the game subsequently included exclusive bonuses for PlayStation players. .
