Activision has officially unveiled Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, developed by Robomodo. It’s coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later in the year, with PS3 and Xbox 360 versions to follow shortly thereafter, according to Game Informer.
The report says that 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”. Building on that core gameplay, the game adds things like power-ups and… “the ability to shoot projectiles for specific missions.”
This last one will come as a surprise to long-term fans. The ability to shoot? It sounds like a questionable addition, but we should probably reserve judgement until we get our hands on it. Still: weird.
“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,” continues Game Informer’s description. “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.”
In Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 you can play as the titular skater or Nyjah Huston, Aaron Homoki, Ishod Wair, Riley Hawk, Lizzie Armanto, Chris Cole, David Gonzalez, Leticia Bufoni, and Andrew Reynolds.
