Tony Hawk Aims for Underground Remake

If you've been eagerly awaiting a return to Tony Hawk's Underground, you're in good company — Tony Hawk himself is actively campaigning for a remake of this beloved classic. "I always have aspirations," Hawk shared with ScreenRant. "It's not up to me generally. I'll campaign all I can, but I'm working with a much bigger company that's a lot smarter than me." When questioned about Activision's plans post the release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, Hawk played his cards close, stating, "We haven't even released this game [yet]!"
