In the upcoming release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, nostalgia takes a memorable twist with some unexpected bonuses in the Digital Deluxe edition. Set to release on July 11, 2025, this version of the game cleverly taps into the past by including Doom-inspired extras, sure to resonate with both skating and classic gaming fans. Among these, the most attention-catching addition might be the Revenant skater, which cheekily nods to the iconic 2011 ‘Doot’ meme.
While long-time fans are already buzzing with excitement, the introduction of this meme taps into a sense of whimsical nostalgia that aims to appeal to an even broader crowd. The wave of anticipation has been building ever since the initial leaks in February, but it officially reached a high note with the game’s trailer reveal on March 4, 2025. The trailer showcased familiar tricks and skate parks, now reimagined with graphics fit for today’s consoles and powerful PCs. Originally, these classics were crafted by Neversoft back in the early 2000s, but the task of revitalizing them fell to Iron Galaxy, recognized for its work on Killer Instinct’s additional seasons back in 2013.
In an exciting twist, the game’s second trailer unveiled the Digital Deluxe edition’s alluring extras. Among them, fans are treated to playable characters hailing from an earlier era of gaming: Doom’s Doom Slayer and the eerie Revenant, originally from Doom 2. These characters bring their own flair to the game’s skate parks. Of particular note is the Revenant’s unique move where, during tricks, it blasts a trumpet, a playful nod to the ‘Doom Doot’ meme.

For those not deeply entrenched in meme culture, a little background on ‘Doom Doot’ might be needed. Originating from a 1999 low-resolution GIF of a trumpet-blaring skeleton, it found its moment of internet fame in 2011, surfacing across Call of Duty forums and Steam communities, giving rise to variations like the Doom Doot. Similar throwback humor has been seen in other gaming franchises too, like Xbox’s playful 2021 Halo ODST DOOTS video.
The Digital Deluxe edition is more than just characters. It offers fans bonus skate decks, themed apparel for the Create-a-Skater mode, and an intriguing Unmaykr Hoverboard. With the game’s official release looming on July 11, expect even more details to emerge, giving fans more to look forward to as they prepare to dive back into these beloved skate parks.
As the countdown continues, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, poised for release on multiple platforms including Nintendo, Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, promises a nostalgic yet fresh experience.
