In an unexpected twist that’s bound to delight gamers, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is set to debut with a special Digital Deluxe edition that draws inspiration from an iconic meme, embracing a quirky piece of internet history. Among its unique offerings is a Revenant skater that pays homage to the infamous ‘Doot’ meme from 2011—bringing a fresh and amusing angle to the game. Mark your calendars because this enticing version will be dropping on July 11, 2025.
Gamers who have been cherishing memories from the early 2000s are given yet another reason to rejoice, as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 taps into the nostalgic vibe, rejuvenating old-school love with a healthy dose of meme culture. While whispers of the game’s revival surfaced back in February, official word came on March 4, 2025, accompanied by a thrilling trailer. This sneak peek highlights not only the beloved skate tricks and parks but showcases a visual upgrade that aligns with modern gaming systems. Originally crafted by Neversoft, the creative reins for this endeavor have been passed to Iron Galaxy, best known for its work on Killer Instinct’s second and third season content back in 2013.
Excitement ripples among fans as these iconic skateboarding games prepare for a comeback, augmented with characters from an even older classic: id Software’s gritty 1993 Doom series. The latest trailer reveals crossover wonders in its Digital Deluxe pre-order bonuses: playing as Doom’s legendary Doom Slayer or venturing on wheels as a Revenant, known from Doom 2. Deviating from their shooter origins, these characters embrace the skate park life in this remake, with Revenant even treating us to a musical homage—trumpeting a note mid-trick, in a playful nod to the renowned Doom Doot meme.
Looking deeper into Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4’s Digital Deluxe perks, players are in for a treat. Enjoy exclusive content like the Doom Slayer Skater and Revenant Skater, gain early access three days before the official launch, and skate through two new parks. Plus, there’s more: immerse yourself in bonus in-game tracks, glide on an Unmaykr Hoverboard, and express your style with fresh skate decks and Create-a-Skater apparel.
For those unfamiliar with the Doot Doot phenomenon, a brief history: this beloved meme evolved from a pixelated clip of a skull playing a trumpet, created in 1999, which became widely popular by 2011. Since then, communities from Call of Duty to Steam have embraced it, spurring variations like Doom Doot where the role is humorously taken over by the Revenant. Even Xbox’s Halo ODST DOOTS video in 2021 nodded to the meme with a cheeky trumpet serenade.
Eager fans can look forward to additional surprises and reveals preceding the July 11 release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, as the excitement continues to build for this highly anticipated nostalgia trip. The Digital Deluxe Edition truly promises an entertaining mix of past and present, making it a must-have for any dedicated gamer eager to relive and redefine their skateboarding adventures.
