We're getting really close to the Xbox first-party release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 on July 11th, and developer Iron Galaxy has just revealed two brand-new characters and maps that are coming to the game at launch next month.
Let's start with the characters - these are Michelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater / Jackass veteran Bam Margera. Both of these will be playable in the game on day one.
As for the maps, one of them puts you inside an active game of pinball, while the other is featured within a Movie Studio. You can get a tease of these in the trailer up above, and we'll share some screenshots and descriptions below.
There's extra information being revealed about THPS 3+4 on the game's official website this week as well, including some seemingly major improvements to the create-a-park feature, a new 'Hawk' mode for multiplayer, details on New Game+ and much more. It all seems to be shaping up really well ahead of launch!

New Character Reveals
Michelangelo
Always ready to join the party, TMNT’s Michelangelo escapes Splinter’s prying eyes in a trip out of the sewers. Shred in the name of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and show these humans how it’s done. Cowabunga!
Bam Margera
Hailing from West Chester, Pennsylvania, former pro skateboarder, stunt performer, television personality, and filmmaker Bam Margera was first revealed at THPS Fest, a fan of the game and featured skater in multiple titles. There’s no ramp or grind too gnarly for Bam, making him the perfect skater for pulling off the most daring tricks.
New Map Reveals
Pinball
Drop into the Skate of the Living Dead pinball machine during an active game being played by none other than Tony Hawk himself. Watch out for the silver pinball flying over the board as the birdman aims for a high score. Catch air off pop bumpers, grind the network of wire rails positioned above the playfield, and watch for chomping alligators down the dangerous river. You can always skate into the scoop to transport to the mausoleum above, setting up the perfect run to light up the backbox display with your sickest combo.
Movie Studio
Make your cinematic debut in Movie Studio, a new competition park set in and around Stage 34. Skate around green screens near sci fi props like a beaming spaceship and the tentacles of a cosmic creature. The track running through Stage 34 and Avenue C provides a consistent floor grind with access to further rails and ramps near the crash site and by the digital ramp displaying an alien landscape. Perfect your runs in Free Skate to help up your score when competing here in the Career Tour. In competitions, each participant skates three one-minute heats, the sum of your best two heats representing your final score. Land in the top three to finish with a medal.
