Bam Margera’s participation in the upcoming release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is still up in the air, despite ongoing speculation and his previous involvement in the franchise. Margera has not received any official confirmation regarding his inclusion in the game, but he remains optimistic about the possibility.
The uncertainty surrounding Margera’s role can be attributed to his well-documented controversies, which may have influenced his exclusion from the game. As the July 11, 2025 release date approaches, the skateboarding community is buzzing with discussions about whether fans will once again be able to skate as Margera, especially considering his established history with the series.
His absence from the early roster reveals in March was met with disappointment, as many fans were eager to see him return to a franchise where he has been both a playable character and a quest provider. In a recent interview with TMZ, Margera emphasized that he has not yet received any formal word from Activision about his potential inclusion.
He mentioned rumors that Tony Hawk himself wishes for Margera to be part of the game, proposing that Hawk may want him to undergo body scanning for character development. Although the scanning process has not occurred, Margera remains hopeful, noting that he has previously been included in four games, which could simplify his return.
While Margera’s personal struggles with substance abuse and legal issues might have played a role in his omission, he expressed excitement about the possibility of returning. He praised the development team at Activision and acknowledged the challenges they face, indicating his respect for their deadlines and the complexities of game creation.
Alongside the uncertainty of his participation, fans are also facing changes in game structure, such as the removal of the classic Career Mode, adding to the evolution of the beloved franchise.
