Bam Margera, the iconic skateboarder and Jackass star, is set to make a surprising return to the roster of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4, despite not being initially included in the announced lineup. This exciting news was revealed by skateboarding media veteran Roger Bagley during a members-only livestream of The Nine Club skateboarding podcast, as reported by Video Games Chronicle.
Bagley shared that the game was "already done" when Tony Hawk himself reached out to Activision, insisting on Margera's inclusion. Despite being initially told it was not possible, Hawk's determination led to a change of plans. IGN has reached out to Activision for further comment on this development.Margera, known for his professional skateboarding career and his role in the Jackass franchise, has faced significant personal challenges, including struggles with alcohol and substance abuse, multiple rehab stints, and a recent firing from Jackass Forever. Additionally, a restraining order was granted to Jackass director Jeff Tremaine following alleged threats to Tremaine and his family.
The anticipation for Margera's return was fueled by a recent video shared by both Hawk and Margera, showcasing them skateboarding together. This has sparked excitement among fans eager to see Margera back 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. Developed by Iron Galaxy, the game has overcome significant hurdles, including the near-cancellation following Activision's merger of the previous series developer, Vicarious Visions, with Blizzard.
