Activision has officially confirmed that Jack Black will make a cameo in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, set to launch on July 11, 2025. The Hollywood actor will reprise his role as Officer Dick, originally featured in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2.
In addition to Officer Dick, Black will portray a new character named Constable Richard, a British adaptation of his original role. Fans can catch a preview of Constable Richard in a teaser video released by Activision.
Jack Black’s history with the Tony Hawk’s franchise dates back to the 2020 remaster, where he enthusiastically accepted the role of Officer Dick without expecting any payment. His passion for the series and his excitement about being part of it after 20 years made the collaboration all the more special.
Black is no stranger to the gaming world, having made memorable appearances in various titles over the years. The evolution of Officer Dick between the games adds an interesting twist.
In the previous title, he was depicted as a school security guard notorious for his disdain for skaters. According to game director Kurt Tillmanns, the character has taken on a new role as a campus security sheriff in the upcoming remaster.
While the methods for unlocking Officer Dick or Constable Richard have yet to be revealed, anticipation is high among fans. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series has become synonymous with quirky celebrity cameos, embracing both real and fictional personalities.
Alongside Jack Black, the franchise has featured notable figures like Billie Joe Armstrong, Gene Simmons, and popular fictional characters from the comics and gaming world. The upcoming remasters promise to keep this tradition alive while appealing to both new and returning players.
