Bam Margera, the iconic skateboarder and Jackass star, is set to make a thrilling return to the roster of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4, despite not being initially listed. This exciting news was shared by skateboarding media veteran Roger Bagley during an exclusive members-only livestream on The Nine Club skateboarding podcast, as reported by Video Games Chronicle.
Bagley revealed that the game was essentially complete when Tony Hawk himself reached out to Activision, insisting that Margera be included. Despite being initially told it was impossible, Hawk's determination prevailed, showcasing his commitment to bringing back a beloved figure in the skateboarding community. IGN has reached out to Activision for further comment on this development.Margera's journey has been marked by well-documented struggles with alcohol and substance abuse, including multiple rehab visits. He was also dismissed from the Jackass Forever project and faced a restraining order from director Jeff Tremaine following alleged threats. However, recent footage of Margera skateboarding with Hawk sparked rumors and excitement about his potential inclusion in the game.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4, announced earlier this month, is slated for release on July 11, 2025, and will be available on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The game, developed by Iron Galaxy, has overcome significant challenges, including nearly being canceled following Activision's merger of the original developer, Vicarious Visions, with Blizzard.
