Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 to Feature Iconic Doom Meme

The Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Digital Deluxe Edition is all set to take fans on an exciting ride down memory lane with some unique bonuses inspired by the classic game Doom. Among these extras, players will find a Revenant skater, a nod to the famous 2011 ‘Doot’ meme.

Fans eagerly waiting can mark their calendars for July 11, 2025, when the game officially launches.

Reviving nostalgia, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 cleverly weaves in an internet phenomenon from over a decade ago to captivate and engage a diverse range of fans. This release aims not just to rekindle old memories with its classic skateboarding essence but also to appeal to a broader spectrum by reviving the hugely popular Doom Doot meme.

While unofficial whispers about the remake had surfaced in February, the game was officially introduced on March 4, 2025. The announcement trailer showcased the familiar thrills of skateboarding tricks and parks, now presented with graphics worthy of today’s gaming standards. The original gems, developed by Neversoft, thrilled players back in 2001 and 2002. However, for the revamped versions, the torch has been passed to Iron Galaxy, renowned for their work on subsequent seasons of Killer Instinct, initially launched in 2013.

Long-time admirers of the series are thrilled about seeing their beloved skateboarding classics come back to life. With Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, a crossover with another gaming legend is happening as well—id Software’s Doom, first released in 1993. The second game trailer teases the Digital Deluxe edition, and its pre-order incentives include an exciting addition: Doom Slayer and the Revenant, both stepping out of their shooter element into the skate parks. Adding a playful twist, Revenant retains its meme heritage by playing a short trumpet tune, reminiscent of the Doot meme, during tricks.

This version of the game will provide an enticing package: three-day early access, Doom Slayer skater, Revenant skater, two skate parks, extra in-game music, Unmaykr Hoverboard, multiple skate decks, and exhilarating Create-a-Skater attire.

For those who missed out on the meme craze back in 2011, here’s a little rundown. The ‘Doot Doot’ GIF—originating as a low-res animation from 1999 depicting a skull playing a trumpet—soon skyrocketed into popularity among Call of Duty forums and Steam groups. This gave birth to different variations, including Doom Doot, where Revenant replaced the original skull. The trend has seen appearances in other games as well; a notable one being Xbox’s Halo ODST DOOTS in 2021, which featured playful trumpet tunes along with the game’s soundtrack.

Besides the nostalgic characters, the Digital Deluxe Edition comes packed with a variety of skate decks, custom apparel for Create-a-Skater, bonus tunes, and the intriguing Unmaykr Hoverboard, not to mention early access for fans itching to get started. With the scheduled launch on July 11, we can certainly expect more reveals about the game as the big day draws near.
