"Online multiplayer is where Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 truly takes off"

You won't be able to play online on last-gen though.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5's will have a 20-player multiplayer for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but there will be no online mode for last-gen versions.

"Online multiplayer is where Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 truly takes off, letting players drop in and out of ongoing online skate sessions with friends and challengers from around the world; it’s like a skatepark that never closes," writes Robomodo president Josh Tsui on a recent post on the PlayStation blog.

"Complete missions, unlock new content and level up online or offline, or go head-to-head on the fly against all takers in competitive matches. You can play with 20 people at once, which is INSANE."

Tsui added that the goal was to "capture the combo-driven energy and tightly designed levels [...] in the signature style of classic Pro Skater games."

"Players can also build their own imaginative skateparks to share with the community," Tsui writes. "Definitely make note of the fact that these online features are only in the PS4 version – the PS3 version has no online play. We’ve tonnes more to talk about here in the upcoming months, so stay tuned."

He also confirmed that the skateboarding pros featuring in the game include Tony Hawk, Nyjah Huston, Chris Cole, Riley Hawk, Aaron “Jaws” Homoki, Lizzie Armanto, Leticia Bufoni, David Gonzalez, Andrew Reynolds, and Ishod Wair. You can also customise your own skater, too.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 will release on September 29, 2015  for Playstation 4 and Xbox One. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions are expected to release by the end of the year.
