Tony Hawk 3 + 4 will have Bam Margera, because Tony Hawk himself demanded it

Controversial skater and Jackass personality Bam Marger will make a return to the iconic series, and there's an awesome reason behind it. Margera had, up until now, been absent from the list of skaters present in the upcoming Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, but according to the latest episode of The Live Club skate podcast, Margera will be indeed making a return, and because the Birdman himself insisted on it. As caught by VGC, the podcasters explain that Tony Hawk himself called Activision and said that they were going to put Bam in the game. The game was already done, but Hawk was unflinching and had the studio fly Bam in last minute to get his body scanned to be in the game. “The game was already done," host Roger Bagley explained. "Tony called up Activision and was like, 'hey, we’re putting Bam in the thing,' and they were like, 'hey, we can't'. He goes 'no, you’re gonna do it,' and basically made them fly Bam back out there to get body-scanned and everything else, and get him back in the game.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-PedsiljOc Who is Bam Margera? Bam Margera is a skater whose DIY CKY movie series paved the way for mainstream success with MTV's Jackass and its films, as well as his spin-off series, Viva la Bam. In recent years, Margera's longstanding struggle with drug and alcohol addiction has forced him out of the public eye and larger projects and even led to production of the latest Jackass installment, Jackass Forever, moving on without him. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 will be released on July 11 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, and PC; Collector's or Deluxe edition owners will get early access starting July 8. The game will also feature cross-platform multiplayer, and launch day one will be on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
