These Are 8 New Skaters in Remastered Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2

The highly anticipated remastered version of the iconic Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater collection can be purchased from September 4, 2020. Built from the ground up in incredible HD, the video game for PS4, Xbox One and PC promises to be a hit compared to the earlier failed attempts like THPS5. In addition to better graphics, there are eight new skaters, both male and female, who will help the new generation of street and park skaters alike by giving them the extra push and motivation like the original games did back in the days.

The original roster has 13 skaters. This includes vert skaters like Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Bucky Lasek, Rune Glifberg, and Steve Caballero, plus street skaters like Jamie Thomas, Andrew Reynolds, Kareem Campbell, Elissa Steamer, Geoff Rowley, Chad Muska, Rodney Mullen, and Eric Koston. In the new roster, you’ll find eight new skaters, including the world’s number one and Tony Hawk’s son! So, unless you’ve been closely following the world of skateboarding, here’s a quick summary of each skater who are complementing the original roster.
