After months of leaks and teasers, Activision has officially announced Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, the highly anticipated remake of two of the most beloved skateboarding games. Set to launch on July 11, 2025, the game will be available on a variety of platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch. Fans can already pre-order the game, which promises to bring back the classic skateboarding experience with updated graphics, new skaters, parks, music, and more. With a refreshed look and new features, this release is set to thrill both long-time fans and newcomers alike.

The official announcement from Activision, made on March 4, detailed several exciting updates and features for the remake. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 will offer not only the original parks and skaters that fans fondly remember but also introduce a host of new content. Players will experience a fully overhauled version of the game, including brand-new skate parks, skaters, and additional tricks. The game’s development has clearly aimed to keep the core gameplay intact while improving its visual and interactive elements for modern gaming platforms.

In terms of gameplay, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 will feature a robust Career mode, cross-platform multiplayer, enhanced creation tools, and the addition of New Game+. Cross-platform online multiplayer will support up to eight players, ensuring skaters can connect and compete regardless of the platform they’re using. Whether players are taking on challenges in Career mode, setting high scores in Single Sessions, or relaxing in Free Skate mode to explore the map, the game offers something for all types of skaters.

One of the most exciting features of the remake is the inclusion of classic skate parks from Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4, all rebuilt in stunning 4K resolution. Among the new parks added to the game is the “Waterpark,” which features grindable slides and a drained lazy river, offering players a fresh and unique environment to show off their skills. Additionally, skaters can choose from a roster of both new and returning characters, or they can create a completely custom skater with detailed customization options, adding an extra layer of personalization to the game. With all these enhancements, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is shaping up to be a must-play title for fans of the series and skateboarding enthusiasts alike.

Call of Duty 2025 May Still Arrive on PS4 and Xbox One Despite Next-Gen Focus

Call of Duty 2025 Could Still Be Released on PS4 and Xbox One Despite Next-Gen Focus

The Call of Duty franchise has long been known for its wide platform releases, and the upcoming Call of Duty 2025 might continue this tradition by launching on both current-generation and older consoles. The most recent title, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, released in October 2024 across multiple platforms, including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. While many other triple-A games have moved exclusively to next-gen consoles, Call of Duty games have typically been available on a broad range of systems. Now, reports suggest that Call of Duty 2025 might follow suit.

According to a report from the popular Call of Duty news channel CharlieIntel, sources close to the game’s development indicate that Call of Duty 2025 could still be launched on PS4 and Xbox One. While it’s surprising that a game in 2025 might support these older consoles, especially given the industry’s shift toward newer hardware, the game is apparently being developed for both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. CharlieIntel shared this information on X (formerly Twitter), noting that although Activision has not yet officially confirmed the game’s platforms, it is likely that the title will continue to support these legacy systems due to their substantial active user bases.

The decision to support older consoles in 2025 is a significant one, considering that many game developers have phased out support for last-gen systems as new hardware becomes more common. However, with the PS4 having sold over 117 million units as of August 2024 and maintaining around 49 million monthly active users, it’s clear why Activision might opt to release the next Call of Duty game across a broad range of consoles. The Xbox One, though having sold about 58 million units, still boasts a sizable player base, though specific monthly active user statistics are not as widely available.

As Call of Duty has traditionally catered to a wide audience, this move makes sense from a business standpoint, as it would ensure the game remains accessible to a large pool of players who have yet to upgrade to the latest consoles. While there’s still no official confirmation from Activision, it seems increasingly likely that Call of Duty 2025 will be available across both the new and older generation of consoles when it launches.
