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

The upcoming Digital Deluxe Edition of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is all set to include some intriguing bonuses, with a cool twist for fans of classic video games. This edition will feature special content inspired by Doom, bringing a new layer of excitement to the much-anticipated release. Among the added features is a Revenant skater, a nod to the famous ‘Doot’ meme from 2011 that’s sure to stir up nostalgia among long-time fans. Mark your calendars for the game’s release on July 11, 2025.

Fans of the iconic skateboarding series are buzzing over the revival of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, especially with its unique way of bridging gaming generations by incorporating a meme that first went viral well over a decade ago. While the classic game already appeals to loyal followers, the developers’ decision to dive into the ‘Doot’ trend from Doom offers something special for a wider audience.

Though the world got an inkling of the game’s return in February, the official word came out on March 4, 2025. A thrilling trailer gave us a look at the beloved tricks and skate parks, now all decked out with crisp, modern graphics fit for today’s gaming platforms. Originally crafted by Neversoft in the early 2000s, this latest rendition is the handiwork of Iron Galaxy, the studio known for its work on the 2013 edition of Killer Instinct.

As anticipation grows, the Digital Deluxe Edition promises a feast for die-hard fans. A recent trailer teases pre-order bonuses, featuring Doom’s legendary Doom Slayer and the Revenant skater. These unusual guests from Doom are switching guns for skateboards, bringing their unique flair to the skate park. Particularly, the Revenant will delight players with a musical twist, blowing a trumpet note mid-trick, a charming touch that tips the hat to the old ‘Doot’ meme.

For gamers unfamiliar with the original, 2011 was the year the ‘Doot Doot’ meme really took off. Originating in 1999 as a simple GIF of a trumpet-playing skull, it became an online sensation on platforms like Steam and Call of Duty message boards. As its popularity spread, various iterations emerged, one of which featured the Revenant from Doom. This playful homage has been embraced by other game franchises over the years, like when Halo paid tribute with a DOOTS video in 2021.

In addition to these fun extras, the Digital Deluxe Edition includes a treasure trove of goodies: extra skate decks, customized apparel, additional in-game tunes, and the futuristic Unmaykr Hoverboard. Early birds can also get a jump start with three days of early access. As we inch closer to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4’s launch date, more exciting updates are undoubtedly on the horizon, building up the suspense for its big July release.
