"Bam Margera to Feature in THPS 3+4 Following Tony Hawk's Insistence"

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 included in the initial announcement. This exciting news was shared by skateboarding media veteran Roger Bagley during a members-only livestream of The Nine Club skateboarding podcast, as reported by Video Games Chronicle.

Margera's journey has been tumultuous, marked by well-publicized struggles with alcohol and substance abuse, leading to multiple rehab stints. He was also dismissed from Jackass Forever and faced a restraining order from Jackass director Jeff Tremaine due to alleged threats. However, recent footage of Hawk and Margera skateboarding together sparked speculation about Margera's potential return to the game.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4, announced earlier this month, is scheduled for release on July 11, 2025, across multiple platforms including PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The game is being developed by Iron Galaxy, which took over after the project nearly got canceled following Activision's merger of the original developer, Vicarious Visions, with Blizzard.
