Revival of Tony Hawk Franchise Teased in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Map
There have been strong hints that a new Tony Hawk project is in the works for some time now, and an official announcement could finally be on the horizon. This speculation is based on a sneaky tease that has appeared in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s latest map.
Clues Pointing Towards a Tony Hawk Revival
Hints of Activision’s interest in reviving its dormant skating franchise first surfaced last September when Tony Hawk mentioned that he had been in talks with the publisher again. This was followed by pro skateboarder Tyshawn Jones’ recent claims that he was involved in a new Tony Hawk project that is being remastered.
It appears that Activision might be gearing up to make an official announcement soon. The Season 02 Reloaded update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 went live today, introducing a remastered version of the skatepark-themed multiplayer map, Grind, from Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
Teasing Something Big
While the skatepark is the focal point of the Grind map, there are other notable areas, including a skate-themed store that seems to be hinting at significant developments. A large TV screen in the store displays the date 03.04.25, along with the branding used for the well-received Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 remake from 2020.
The implication is that Activision may announce its new Tony Hawk project on the 4th of March this year. Given the branding and previous mentions of “remastering,” it is likely that the announcement could be related to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4.

Previous Plans and Potential Roadblocks
Tony Hawk had previously revealed that a Pro Skater 3+4 remake was in the works following the success of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2. However, plans were reportedly halted when Activision merged developer Vicarious Visions into Blizzard, repurposing it as a support studio for the Diablo franchise and other Blizzard games.
Regardless of the hurdles, it seems that Activision is building anticipation for its upcoming announcement. In the meantime, players can enjoy the Season 02 Reloaded update for Black Ops 6, which features the new Grind map and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration.
