The remaster ofTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2has been one of 2020’s more pleasant surprises. The original games were fan favourites back in the late 90s and early 2000s before more recent entries fell well short of the mark. The gamewas only revealed in May, before releasing to critical acclaim this September andselling one million copies faster than any other title in the franchise’s history.
While the game already scored highly with critics, developers Vicarious Visions isn’t stopping there.
