Starting out with the initial Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in 1999, the series proved to be one of the most popular and best-selling video game franchises of the early 2000s.
The series has spawned a total of 20 games. In 2020, the series returned under Activision with a remake of the original two games in the series, with development handled by Vicarious Visions. The series was primarily developed for home consoles by Neversoft from launch to 2007, until Activision transferred the franchise to Robomodo in 2008, who developed the franchise until 2015 when Activision and Hawk's license expired, leaving the future of the series uncertain. Tony Hawk's is a skateboarding video game series published by Activision and endorsed by the American professional skateboarder of the same name.
