Tony Hawk is referring to the absorption of Vicarious Visions into Blizzard. Originally announced in early 2021, the operation was completed a couple of months ago. Doing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 remake was the plan, even up to the release date of this one (1+2), we were going 3+4. Then Vicarious got absorbed and they were looking into other developers and then it was over. Activision was trying to find others who would do 3+4 but they didn’t really trust them in the way they did Vicarious Visions. They took other pitches from other studios and they didn’t like anything they heard. That was it. It’s too bad we’re not getting another Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater remake. The one that launched in September 2020 reviewed extremely well here on Wccftech (9.1 score) and elsewhere, too.
