Activision has teamed up with AEG Presents on the upcoming Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 to bring iconic venues into the game like The El Rey Theatre and The Roxy. The upcoming remake will feature new skaters and tricks, and an updated soundtrack and brand new parks.
Two of AEG Presents iconic venues will feature in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4. The El Rey Theatre exterior has been digitally recreated and will feature in the Los Angeles level. The Roxy, another one of AEG’s celebrated venues, is featured on various billboards within the same level.
“THPS Fest is a like a dream come true—it’s surreal to see Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 (and the THPS franchise) celebrated on this scale,” said Tony Hawk. “This event includes everything that’s shaped the legacy of THPS: skateboarding, music, and the authentic culture behind both. I am honoured to partner with AEG and Activision to bring this vision to life—it represents the generations of fans who’ve connected with the game and the lifestyle it represents.”
Activision will be hosting a livestream event at the El Rey Theare in LA on May 8. Live performances from artists featured on the soundtrack such as Danny Brown, Lupe Fiasco, Adolenscents, and Urethane will all be there. On top of that, new and returning skaters are also going to be making an appearance. Selma Masekela and Nora Vasconcellos will be hosting, with Chloe Covell, Aurélien Giraud, Leo Baker, Kareem Campbell, Geoff Rowley, Tony Hawk, and more showing up.
Commented Zach Zimmerman, Vice President, Marketing Partnerships at AEG Presents, “We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Activision on the launch of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4. Music and skateboarding are at the heart of Southern California culture, and we are thrilled to marry these worlds with the integration of beloved AEG Presents and Goldenvoice properties into the game. We look forward to opening the doors of the El Rey Theatre on May 8th for THPS Fest to celebrate a truly one-of-a-kind partnership.”
“We’re delighted to collaborate with AEG Presents to celebrate the upcoming launch of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4,” said Jason Finn, Senior Manager, Product Management at Activision. “Hosting this event at the iconic El Rey Theatre, an in-game landmark, makes it even more special. With immersive gameplay, live musical performances, and exclusive first-looks, there truly is something for everyone. Fans around the world can join us to experience everything we’ve been working on, and this is just the beginning. We can’t wait to share even more exciting moments with our community.”
