Tony Hawk’s Underground just got a (very short) remake, but not in the way that you were thinking. On social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk posted the intro clip for the game, but this time, he stood in for the player-created main character as he interacted with the greatest villain in video games, Eric Sparrow.
So what was the occasion? According to Hawk in the text for the video, this was his way of spreading a little joy and celebrating National Video Games Day. The video also had a “not a THUG promo” in its title, dashing any hopes for a remaster.
While the video is a fun reminder of THUG, don’t expect it to be a teaser for an eventual remake of the cult-classic skateboarding game from 2003. Hawk himself has said in the past that he’d love to see it remastered, but ultimately, it’s not up to him to make that call.
