Bam Margera, known for his role in the iconic series Jackass, will make a highly anticipated return as a unlockable character in the upcoming release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4. This announcement has generated a lot of buzz among skate and series fans, especially considering Margera’s complicated personal journey, as he has publicly faced his struggles with addiction and health issues, which led to his dismissal from Jackass Forever in 2022.
A comeback that Tony Hawk had to fight for
The video game, which will be released on July 11, 2025, for multiple platforms such as PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, promises a renewed experience. Aside from the return of Margera, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 will have better performance, updated graphics, and new levels, as well as a more extensive soundtrack and a cast of classic characters. This new installment not only remasters but also includes original content, giving a nod to nostalgia while updating the gameplay.
Margera has expressed his obsession with the Tony Hawk series since the release of the second installment in 2000, and his return to this franchise seems like a promising step in his personal recovery. In a behind-the-scenes video, the former skater showed his excitement and talked about the body scanning process for the game. The gaming community and Bam’s followers hope that this return marks a new chapter in his life.
The development team, Iron Galaxy, has been praised for not limiting itself to a simple remaster, but for achieving a more ambitious proposal that includes new areas to explore, making Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 a valuable addition for fans of extreme sports video games.
