Exciting news for skateboarding enthusiasts: Bam Margera is making a comeback in the much-anticipated remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, this time as a secret skater! His iconic presence first graced the series in the legendary Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3, and fans have fond memories of his unique style.
When the remake was first unveiled in March, some fans were concerned to find Margera absent from the roster. However, Activision recently confirmed his return via social media, accompanied by a fun video where Margera humorously discusses his habit of missing flights due to immersing himself in the game.
The reasons behind Margera’s initial exclusion remain a topic of speculation. Many fans are curious whether it relates to past legal issues stemming from his struggles with substance abuse. However, insights from Roger Bagley, co-host of the popular skating podcast The Nine Club, hint at a more positive truth. Bagley shared that the game had almost reached completion when Tony Hawk himself stepped in, insisting that Margera be included. “Tony called up Activision and said, ‘Hey, we’re adding Bam to the game!’,” he recounted during a livestream. Hawk’s passion and determination led to Margera being flown back for a body scan and a last-minute inclusion.
This late addition could explain why Margera will be classified as a secret unlockable skater, providing an element of surprise for players eager to unlock his character.
The confirmed roster for this exciting remake isn’t just limited to classic skaters; it also features revered newcomers. Players can look forward to skating alongside legends such as Tony Hawk, Bucky Lasek, Steve Caballero, and current skate stars like Rayssa Leal and Yuto Horigome. With a blend of old-school and fresh talent, the lineup promises an exhilarating experience.
Mark your calendars! The remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is set to launch on July 11th across multiple platforms, including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, Battle.net, and the Microsoft Store. Be sure to check it out on Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass PC as well.
Additionally, fans will notice some intriguing twists in career mode this time around—players are now required to complete objectives on a timer, offering a thrilling challenge that departs from the free-exploration style of previous games.
