Overview
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 is a skateboarding game developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Activision for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on September 4, 2020. It later received a release for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on March 26, 2021, followed by a Nintendo Switch release on June 25, 2021.
The second high-definition remake of both Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (after Robomodo's 2012 game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD) and celebrating the series' 20th anniversary, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 features all pro skaters and levels from those games with overhauled graphics and a revamped game engine. Most of the licensed soundtrack also return, along with several new tracks.
Despite being a remake, it retains several tricks from later games in the series (including the "revert" from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, the "hip transfer" from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, and "wall plants" from Tony Hawk's Underground). It also features the Create-A-Skater and Create-A-Park modes, as well as both split-screen and online multiplayer.
It is notable for being the last game from Vicarious Visions, previously known for their handheld ports of several Tony Hawk games, before they merged with Blizzard Entertainment (as Blizzard Albany).
Pro Skaters
All pro skaters from the first two games in the series make a return, although they now appear 20 years older due to using their age at the time of development. Some characters from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 are also included, along with four new skaters.
Although not all secret characters appear, the game features a new version of Officer Dick with the voice and likeness of actor and musician Jack Black.
