While fans continued to countdown the day that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 graced store shelves, it was already expected that the highly-requested remaster would perform impressively well. In that, Activision issued the game already broke a record for the series: the game reached one million units sold faster than any entry in the franchise. But, the game is still limited to certain systems.
Surprising enough, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is not available on Nintendo Switch. But, when players who pre-ordered the game ahead of its fall release obtained the ‘Warehouse’ demo for the game, they uncovered control schemes for Nintendo’s latest console. So it was inevitable before the team at Vicarious Visions carried the game over to the system.
On Monday, the official Twitter account poked at bringing the game to Nintendo Switch. And now, it is finally happening. Even more, the game is also shipping respective versions for Xbox Series X|S & PlayStation 5 as well. You can watch the reveal trailer in the video below:
“High-fidelity atmospherics will be added to the next-gen upgrade for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2. This unique graphical feature will allow players to enjoy the experience of sharper dynamic shadows, reflections and lens flares, as well as enhanced skater textures and more on next-gen,” the statement from the press release reads.
In context for developer Vicarious Visions as of late, it is revealed that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 will be the team’s last independent project. Now, the developer is appointed to new endeavors assigned by Blizzard Entertainment after the merge with the World of Warcraft/Overwatch firm earlier in January.
As per other handlings of Activision projects to other systems, it is revealed that Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is coming to Nintendo Switch, PC, and next-generation console as well later in 2021. You can read the full report by heading here.
