Bam Margera's inclusion in the upcoming Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 has been confirmed, despite his absence from the initial roster announcement. This news was revealed by skateboarding media veteran Roger Bagley during an exclusive livestream of The Nine Club skateboarding podcast, as reported by Video Games Chronicle.
Bagley shared that the game was already complete when Tony Hawk reached out to Activision, requesting Bam Margera's addition. Initially, Activision stated it was not possible, but Bagley noted that Hawk's persistence led to a change of heart. IGN has reached out to Activision for further comment on this development.
Bam Margera, known for his role in the Jackass series and as a former professional skateboarder, has faced significant public challenges with alcohol and substance abuse, including multiple rehab visits. He was also fired from Jackass Forever and faced a restraining order from Jackass director Jeff Tremaine following alleged threats.
Recent videos of Hawk and Margera skateboarding together sparked speculation about Margera's return to the game. 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. Developed by Iron Galaxy, the game overcame the threat of cancellation following Activision's merger of the previous developer, Vicarious Visions, with Blizzard.
