Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5
Platforms – PS4
Region – EU

Pro Skater 5 will take its inspiration from earlier games in the series as it heads back to its roots, with classic stages such as Warehouse, Hangar and School. The game will feature playable professional skateboarders, and give players the ability to customize and create their own parks. Featuring missions, objectives and co-op and online multiplayer, Pro Skater 5 will also feature a level-up system that will hopefully reward players for their grinding skills.
