The choice to launch the game at London Zoo was far from random—this iconic location plays a starring role as a fully playable level in the upcoming Tony Hawk’s™ Pro Skater 3 + 4 release. By bringing the zoo’s dynamic and colorful setting into the virtual world, fans get an exciting real-life glimpse of the environment they’ll soon be skating through in-game.
In a memorable twist, skate legend Tony Hawk immersed himself in the zoo’s daily routines. The standout moment? A special encounter with a new resident—Tony Hawk, a striking Harris Hawk named in tribute to the skater himself.
Stepping into an unexpected role, Hawk joined the zoo’s bird care team for a training session, handling the bird with impressive ease. His feathered counterpart is now in training to become a regular feature in the zoo’s bird demonstrations, giving fans a chance to see both Tonys in action later this year.
