UPDATE 4.30pm UK: Activision has now confirmed Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 will launch for Nintendo Switch at some point in 2021, and on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on 26th March. There's also a convoluted upgrade program for those consoles, which we've separately detailed in full.

Activision has announced that Vicarious Visions, the studio behind last year's acclaimed Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 remake, is being merged into the Blizzard side of its business.

Vicarious Visions has been developing games for over three decades ago now, having been founded in 1990, and was acquired by Activision in 2005. It's worked on a huge number of big name franchises in that time, including Tony Hawk, Crash Bandicoot, Guitar Hero, Spider-Man, Destiny 2, Skylanders, and Call of Duty.

The newly announced merger, as reported by GamesIndustry.biz, will refocus Vicarious Visions' 200-strong team of employees to become "fully dedicated to existing Blizzard games and initiatives", effective from today.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 has sold 1m copies in 10 days, making it the fastest-selling game in the franchise's history.

The Birdman himself previously said the future of his skateboarding series - and my personal dream of a Pro Skater 3 remake - rested on the sales of the new Pro Skater 1+2. Well, those sales are looking pretty good right now.

After a long wait in the wilderness, the return of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater has been praised for its return to the series' roots, and been warmed to by fans in a way the series has not felt for over a decade.

Marvel's Avengers wasn't the only beta being played at the weekend. No, the original Birdman was back for a pre-release trial of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2.

Just as with Avengers, people have begun poking around within Tony Hawk's own demo files for clues to his full game - and found a fan-favourite character is back with a new look.

That's right, YouTube star Jack Black will be playable in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2 as Officer Dick (thanks, CheezhOfficial).

Activision has revealed the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 remaster soundtrack, and some of the classics are missing.

Talk of the game's soundtrack emerged after Activision released an 18-track playlist on Spotify - and fans noticed some songs included in the original soundtracks were missing.

Kotaku then confirmed only five songs that featured in the first two Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games won't be included in the remasters:

UPDATE 5pm: After much teasing and leakage, Activision has formally unveiled Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2. It combines remastered versions of the much-loved skating games into one package, and is coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC on 4th September.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 is the work of Vicarious Visions, the studio recently responsible for the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Crash Team Racing remasters, and like those games, it takes the original experiences and punts them screaming into the present day with a thoroughly modern visual makeover.

Alongside returning pro-skaters (Tony Hawk, Bucky Lasek, Steve Caballero, Geoff Rowley, Andrew Reynolds, Elissa Steamer, Chad Muska, Eric Koston, Rodney Mullen, Rune Glifberg, Kareem Campbell, Jamie Thomas, and Bob Burnquist are all name-checked), the remaster will feature original levels, music tracks, and tricks from the first two Tony Hawk games.

It's been four years since the world was last graced with a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game - and, as we've all tried hard to forget, it was rubbish. Even so, despite late-life missteps, love for the series lingers on - and recent whispers from those seemingly in the know suggest that fans may finally be set to get the Pro Skater revival they've been hoping for.

Word of a new Tony Hawk game initially began to circulate over the weekend when reliable industry leaker Sabi shared word from an Activision source, suggesting that prototype remakes of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 had been doing the rounds internally.

Sabi did note, however, that, "Nobody seems to know if both games are being fully remade, or if it's just a test for something else." That uncertainty might well have already been cleared up elsewhere, though, thanks to a recent interview unearthed by fans.
