Bam Margera's inclusion in the upcoming Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 has been confirmed, despite his absence from the initially announced roster. This exciting news was shared by skateboarding media veteran Roger Bagley during a members-only livestream on The Nine Club skateboarding podcast, as reported by Video Games Chronicle.
According to Bagley, the game was "already done" when Tony Hawk himself reached out to Activision, insisting on Margera's addition. Despite being initially told it couldn't be done, Hawk's persistence paid off, and Margera will indeed be part of the final game. IGN has reached out to Activision for further comment on this development.
Margera, known for his past as a professional skateboarder and his role in the Jackass film and TV series, has faced well-documented struggles with alcohol and substance abuse, including multiple rehab visits. His challenges have also led to his dismissal from Jackass Forever and a restraining order from director Jeff Tremaine due to alleged threats.
Recent videos of Margera and Hawk skateboarding together sparked speculation about Margera's return to the game, which has now been confirmed.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, announced earlier this month, is set to launch on July 11, 2025, across multiple platforms including PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The game, developed by Iron Galaxy, has overcome significant hurdles, including the near-cancellation following the merger of its previous developer, Vicarious Visions, with Blizzard.
