The Digital Deluxe edition of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is set to charm long-time fans with bonuses inspired by the classic Doom, including a special nod to the iconic ‘Doot’ meme from 2011 with a Revenant skater inclusion. Players can look forward to diving back into the adrenaline-packed skating world with the game launching on July 11, 2025.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 has chosen an interesting tactic by incorporating the ‘Doot’ meme that captivated audiences over a decade ago. This clever move not only stirs nostalgia amongst veteran players but also taps into a broader audience. Since its teaser leaked in February, the anticipation has been sky-high, with its official announcement on March 4, 2025, further fueling excitement. The trailer provides a tantalizing view of the upgraded game, showcasing classic tricks and skate parks with modern-day graphics that are sure to impress across both consoles and PCs. Originally crafted by Neversoft and launched in 2001 and 2002, the latest remakes have been entrusted to Iron Galaxy, a studio known for their commendable work on Killer Instinct.
As fans eagerly await the remastered experience, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 brings a crossover surprise. Characters from the legendary 1993 Doom game, developed by id Software, make their appearance. Highlighting the Digital Deluxe version, Doom Slayer and Revenant step out of their shooter realm and into Tony Hawk’s vibrant skate parks. Not only do these characters add excitement to the roster, but they also bring the cherished Doom Doot meme to life—imagine Revenant blaring short notes from a trumpet during a trick routine!
For gamers unfamiliar with the 2011 viral sensation, a brief explanation: ‘Doot Doot’ initially began as a low-resolution image of a skull playing a trumpet from 1999. Its meme status was cemented in 2011, where it dominated forums like Call of Duty’s and Steam communities. The Doom Doot iteration is a playful version featuring a Revenant replacing the skull. Other gaming giants have incorporated similar callbacks, such as Xbox’s clever spin with its Halo ODST DOOTS video in 2021.
Pre-orders of the Digital Deluxe Edition promise a suite of extras beyond the captivating skaters. Expect an array of skate decks, exclusive in-game tunes, Create-a-Skater apparel, and a unique Unmaykr Hoverboard. Players will also relish in three days of early access, cementing this edition as a must-have for eager skaters. With a release date set for July 11, enthusiasts should keep an eye out for even more enticing gameplay reveals leading up to launch day.
