For the first time since 1999, in 2011, Activision will not publish a new skateboarding game. In the past few hours, the COO of Activision, Thomas Tippl, confirmed that due to the negative reception given by critics to Tony Hawk: Ride and poor sales of the last game of the series, Tony Hawk: Shred, the Tony Hawk franchise take a break of one year.
"We will not publish new music games or skate in 2011," said Tippl. For the future, the publisher seems to want to focus particularly on licensed products and licenses thicker: the games developed by Blizzard, Call of Duty series and the new project Bungie are probably the areas on which focus the efforts of publisher has already announced that it has closed its gaming division, which includes the music business for Guitar Hero.
A few months ago dismissed several employees of Robomodo Activision, Tony Hawk developer: Shred. Difficult in the future any new Tony Hawk is assigned to the same study.
