Returning talent from the previous remasters will be joined by a fresh roster of skaters, including stars such as Rayssa Leal and Yuto Horigome, expanding the skateboarding dream team. While new tracks are being added to the musical lineup, fans can rejoice over the return of nostalgic anthems like Motorhead’s “Ace of Spades” and CKY’s “96 Quite Bitter Beings.”
THPS 3 + 4 will also feature cross-platform online multiplayer and an enhanced Create-A-Park mode allowing players to design and share custom skateparks, amplifying the replayability and creative possibilities of the game.
Gamers won’t have to wait long for this skateboard-tastic experience, with the remaster slated for release on July 11 across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms. In an enticing offer for early birds, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will have day-one access, while preorders for the deluxe and collector’s editions grant early entry on July 8.
