News: A new trailer has been released for the new Tony Hawk game that shows off a little bit of what you can expect when it is released later this year.

Activision has just released a new trailer for the upcoming Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5. Backed with punk band Plague Vendor's track "Black Sap Scriptures", the video shows skateboarding pros and hidden characters, classic trick combos in brand new levels and tons of skaters ripping together. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 is expected to arrive on September 29, 2015 for the PlayStation®4 and Xbox One.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 rekindles the signature style of classic Pro Skater games in a brand-new set of levels with the same renowned focus on daring objectives and fine-tuned controls – including manuals and reverts – for endless sessions and high-scoring tricks. Expansive, seamless online multiplayer means you can quickly jump into the action with up to 20 friends and challengers at one time. Pretty much everything you could do in single-player in past THPS games, you can now do online with friends in THPS5, like missions, unlocking new content, and leveling up... or if your skills are on point, go head-to-head against all takers in competitive matches. Adding to the online insanity, you can create your own skateparks, then share them with the community. If your creation is good enough, you might find the Birdman himself in there nailing 900s. It should be noted though that the online features are exclusive to the PlayStation®4 and Xbox One versions of the game.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 will be available for the PS4 and Xbox One for $59.99. There will be versions for the Xbox 360 and PS3 as well, however, no release date has been announced at this time. All they have said is they hope to have it released sometime in 2015. The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions will not have the online functionality of the current gen versions and will be available for $39.99.

Take a look at the trailer below and tell us what you think. Will you be buying Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 when it comes out? If so, which platform will you get it on?
