Bam Margera added to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 at the last minute - thanks to Tony Hawk himself

Despite the rumours about his absence, Bam Margera will still appear in the remake of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4. As reported during The Live Club podcast, he was added to the game at the last minute after Tony Hawk's insistence.
Here's What We Know
Earlier this year, when Activision announced the re-release, the official roster of skaters included all the classic characters from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 4 - except for Margaera. Given his close connection to the series and his participation in Jackass and Viva La Bam, this caused concern among fans.
However, according to podcast host Roger Bagley, Gok personally contacted Activision to demand the return of Margaera. At first, the company refused, but the skater insisted, which is why the developers had to urgently call Margaera for a body scan and full integration into the game.
Activision has not yet officially confirmed this information. However, the rumours intensified after a photo of Margera and Gok together at a skate park appeared on the Internet.
Where To Play
After the release, the game will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, PlayStation 5 and PC, as well as in the Game Pass catalogue on the first day of release.
When We Can Expect It
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is scheduled for release on 11 July.
