Nostalgic Tony Hawk fans hoping for an exciting reboot of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater franchise are in for some tough news: the man himself has confirmed that he's no longer with Activision. Without the namesake of the series attached to the intellectual property, it's safe to say that a proper successor to the ill-fated Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 probably won't be seeing the light of day. Tony Hawk, now 49, tweeted the confirmation earlier today in response to fan requests that he nudge Activision into restoring the servers for the last Pro Skater game.

The troubled Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 recently made waves when the game went on sale on the PlayStation Network, where gamers expected to be able to play the title both online and offline. Unfortunately, the servers for the game were shut down, meaning gamers could only access the single player portion. Tony Hawk said he'd be willing to help if he had the authority to get the servers back up, but it seems like all ties between Hawk and Activision have been severed for the time being.

Gamers can take a look at official tweet below:

The last time one of Tony Hawk's skateboarding titles saw a remaster was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD in 2012, and even this had its own slew of problems. Still, the memories many skate fans have of hitting the half pipe to a ska soundtrack in 1999 have made for a seemingly endless barrage of requests for further remasters, especially since the last HD remake released before the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 came to market.

Tony Hawk confirmed that he was working on a new skater game without Activision last year, where he also announced a crowdfunding project for a Tony Hawk Pro Skater-based documentary. While the documentary failed to meet its crowdfunding target, film production proceeded regardless and the documentary is now in post-production. Tony Hawk's Activision-independent game has apparently been much more under wraps, assuming that it has even continued development.
