Today, Activision and developer Vicarious Visions announced a bundle of new skaters making their way into Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, the upcoming remaster of the classic games skateboarding games.
The list of skaters includes Nyjah Huston, Leo Baker, Leticia Bufoni, Aori Nishimura, Lizzie Armanto, Shane O’Neil, Riley Hawk, and Tyshawn Jones. This isn’t the first time these skaters have graced the virtual skate grounds, some of them have been in later games in the series, but it’s the first time they’ve been in the first two games. These eight join a lineup of classic skaters like Tony Hawk, Chad Muska, and Bob Burnquist. No word if any of the legendary hidden skaters will make their triumphant return (yet).
“Modern-day skateboarding originated from a generation of skaters who grew up playing the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games,” Michelle Bresaw, Vice President of Product Management and Marketing at Activision, said in a statement. “The world-class pro skaters we’re adding to this remaster took the tricks and combos from the videogame and made them possible in real life. We’re proud that the remaster will represent the skate culture landscape today with a diverse roster of skaters that will appeal to any gamer.”
