Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is a third-person skateboarding and tricks game developed by Vicarious Visions in cooperation with Beenox and published by Activision. It is the first title in the Tony Hawk's series to utilize Unreal Engine 4.
Built as a single game with persistent progress, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is comprised of remastered versions of the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater first released on PlayStation in 1999, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 released in 2000. In addition to enhancing the visuals, the collection expands on the titles by featuring new skaters, challenges and music tracks, tricks introduced in later games of the franchise, and an online multiplayer mode.[2][3] Three songs of the original soundtracks are excluded from the remake due to licensing issues.[4]
A playable demo of the game, limited to the Warehouse level with Tony Hawk as the only playable character, was made available as a pre-order bonus on August 14, 2020.
The full game was released for Windows on Epic Games Store on September 4, 2020, making use of Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM. The release was met with critical acclaim, as the reviewers favorably compared the gameplay feel of the remake to its origins, noted improvements over more recent titles of the series and praised the modern visuals.[5][6][7]
