Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 will remove a Guitar Hero Easter egg after it attracted attention from players. The Easter egg, found inside a trash can on the Waterpark level, appeared as a game box referencing Guitar Hero, a series developed by Neversoft, which previously worked on Tony Hawk titles.
The discovery was shared on the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 subreddit, with one Reddit user stating, “Goes to show Iron Galaxy’s respect for Neversoft.”
Some players viewed the inclusion as a sign of disrespect towards the earlier franchise, while others considered it a joke referencing the past.
Iron Galaxy, the developer behind the remake, confirmed the removal on its official Reddit account. The studio stated, “We have the utmost respect for anyone who makes games, we’re investigating how that got in there in the first place.”
The post also thanked the community for bringing the matter to attention, confirming that the asset will be removed in the next update.
The Easter egg appeared in Waterpark, a new level in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, alongside Movie Studio and Pinball. These new levels, combined with returning locations, feature the franchise’s signature gameplay while introducing expanded Create-A-Skater and Create-A-Park modes.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 was released in July, bringing the third and fourth entries of the series to modern hardware, allowing players to revisit iconic locations and perform signature combos with up to eight skaters in multiplayer.
