Developer Iron Galaxy has confirmed that Bam Margera, the former professional skateboarder and Jackass star, will make a surprise appearance in the upcoming Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4 remake. This highly anticipated release combines remasters of Pro Skater 3 (2001) and Pro Skater 4 (2002), following the success of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 in 2020.

The 2020 remake set a high bar, blending nostalgic gameplay with modern graphics and expanded features like online multiplayer. Fans expected similar enhancements for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4, but rumors swirled that Margera might be cut due to his recent legal and personal struggles. Earlier this year, Margera himself hinted at his exclusion, though he clarified that both he and Tony Hawk wanted him included.

Margera was a playable character in the original Pro Skater 3 and 4, and he made cameos in later titles like Tony Hawk's Underground and American Wasteland. His potential absence from the remake sparked debate among fans—some saw it as inevitable given his controversies, including his firing from Jackass Forever in 2021. However, Tony Hawk reportedly pushed for his inclusion, ensuring Margera's return as an unlockable secret skater.
