Before people were getting tired of all those Assassin Creed games, hell, even before Guitar Hero got worn down, people were getting tired of all those Tony Hawk games. Nobody really expected a skating game to be anything other than an attempt to milk some cash by tagging on Tony Hawk’s name, but boy were they wrong… at first. While the first few Pro Skater were amazing, subsequent games were significantly less so, and eventually we stopped seeing them released… until now. A new installment is going to be hitting consoles later this year, and it promises to be just as good as the games that helped launch the series.

Putting to rest months of cryptic tweets from Tony Hawk, Activision and developers Robomodo and Disruptive Games have officially announced Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 – a return to the classic gameplay of the series’ heyday. The game is slated to come out on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later in the year, with PS3 and Xbox 360 versions following shortly thereafter. As the name indicates, Pro Skater 5 is a call back to the old-school lineage of the first four titles – back when the franchise was in its prime. The game weds the series’ finely tuned gameplay with new additions such as power-ups and the ability to shoot projectiles for specific missions. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 features a new set of levels packed with objectives and missions you can complete solo or with friends via online co-op and competitive play. Whether you just want to have a session with friends or strangers or want to level up your character online and then take them offline, the game’s online flow is seamless. Your created skate parks can also be shared with world.
