According to professional skater Tyshawn Jones in a recent interview on Power 105.1 FM’s The Breakfast Club, he will be in an upcoming Tony Hawk video game. According to Jones, it will be a remaster. “I’m in a Tony Hawk coming out,” he said, “so that’s cool—they got a new one they’re remastering, so that’s about to come out. I was [also] in the last one [Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2].” The latest entry in the Tony Hawk video game series, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, launched on September 4, 2020, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Epic Games Store. A Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 was planned but plans were shelved after Vicarious Visions was absorbed by Blizzard Entertainment.
