Summary
A portion of theTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4soundtrack has been unveiled by Activision a week after the game’s reveal. Earlier this month, fans of skating games rejoiced over the long-hoped-for announcement ofTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, a bundle remake of both early-2000s skating classics.
Activision’s folding ofTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2developer Vicarious Visions into Blizzard in 2022 caused a lot of doubt among skating game fans thatTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4would ever see the light of day. Thankfully, after weeks of clever teases, it’s been revealed thatPro Skater 3 + 4is indeed in the works at Iron Galaxy and, better yet, is ready to release on July 11. The announcement came by way of a reveal trailer which showcased many of the game’s various locations and confirmed a crossover withBethesda’sDoomFPS franchisefor fans who pre-order the digital deluxe or collector’s editions.
Now, just over a week since theofficialTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4reveal,Activision has created aplaylist on Spotifythat will be updated with the game’s soundtrack songs over the weeks and months leading up to the game’s release. There are currently 20 tracks that sit on the Spotify playlist, some included in the original games and others that are brand new by newer artists. Jeff Rosenstock, Denzel Curry, Turnstile, and Run the Jewels are some of the newer acts set to joinPro Skater 3 + 4’s soundtrack, while beloved tracks like Motorhead’s " Ace of Spades" and Adolescents' “Amoeba” will make their return.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Soundtrack Songs Confirmed So Far
It will be interesting to see whether all the music from the original soundtracks of both games willmake it intoTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4. The original games featured 20 and 35 tracks respectively, but considering this is a bundle remake, the soundtrack will almost certainly be much larger. For reference, 2020’sTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2featured nearly 60 tracks, only 22 of which were from the original games. With that in mind, fans shouldn’t get their hopes up about every original track making the jump, though some key classics like AC/DC’s “TNT” and N.W.A.’s “Express Yourself” almost seem guaranteed to appear inTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4.
In June, Iron Galaxy is holding a Foundry Demo forActivision’sTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4,which fans can gain access to by pre-ordering any edition of the game. The demo is set to include two skaters, two parks, and a small slice of the game’s soundtrack, but the precise date of the demo is yet to be confirmed by Activision. Fans should keep their eyes glued to theTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4Spotify playlist as more new and old punk and hip-hop songs are added in the lead-up to the game’s hotly anticipated release on July 11.
