Tony Hawk: Shred dated for October 29

Activision has given Tony Hawk: Shred an October 29th release date. This will be the second game in the series to utilise the skateboard controller and will be released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii.

Skateboarding isn’t the only extreme sports featured in Tony Hawk: Shred, snowboarding is going to be making an appearance for the first time too.

”Tony Hawk: Shred is all about experiencing over-the-top, almost unbelievable GO BIG moments throughout the game - the kind of tricks and stunts that we can only hope to achieve as our sports continue to evolve,” explained Tony Hawk. ”I’m also excited about including snowboarding in Shred, because when we originally came up with the board motion-controller, we didn’t just have skateboarding in mind, and it’s nice to finally see that idea coming to fruition.”
