Features

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 combines classic combo-driven skateboarding with objective-based single player action and seamless online multiplayer

The Freeskate levels serve as lobbies for up to 20 players. They act as hubs where players can hang out and skate between different missions and online matches. The sessions themselves are hosted by dedicated servers, so you can drop in and out of populated Freeskate sessions at any time. When you are ready, you can jump into a mission with your party or challenge the entire park in one of the competitive multiplayer modes. This is done from the Sessions menu, a multipurpose tool for queuing up missions or modes, managing your party, and checking to see who’s in the park. When your mission or match is finished, you can either retry/rematch or seamlessly jump back into the Freeskate where you can hang out while deciding what to do next.

Activision promises to have the game playable to the public over the summer and fall:

We’ll have the game playable to the public at various places in North America and Europe over the summer and fall, so be sure to follow @TonyHawkGames on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to get the deets.

The pre-order exclusives from GameStop, Best Buy and Amazon are all live, so be sure to eye those and pick your poison. There are differences between what is offered for the PS4 and PS3 versions, so be mindful of that. Pro Skater 5 will be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

We will bring you any new information on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 as soon as it becomes available.
