New Developer for the next Tony Hawk game?

Tyranitar24 | June 04, 2008 | News | Playstation 2 Playstation 3

In the recent podcast, Giant Bomb has rumored that Robomodo is developing the next Tony Hawk game and not Neversoft. If so, that would end Neversoft's Tony Hawk streak, who have developed somewhere around the last 10 titles.

In its latest podcast, Giant Bombs rumoured that Neversoft isnt working on the next Tony Hawk game, which is instead being developed by new Chicago outfit Robomodo.

The Illinois team is apparently made up from ex-EA Chicago staffers and is currently looking for staff for an Acitvision project, as you can see here.

If true, it would certainly fit in with Activisions innovation plan for the series, as alluded to - but not detailed - in March.

It would also be the end of an era: Neversoft has put out ten Hawk games (we think).

I'm more 'oro' over the "Tony Hawk 4 (Mac)" one >_>

In any case, maybe a new developer could do something new, and enjoyable with the Tony Hawk Franchise....it has gotten kind of....stale in recent years >_>
