Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 on new-gen console will feature online multiplayer for up to 20, developer Robomodo says.

“Online multiplayer is where Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 truly takes off, letting players drop in and out of ongoing online skate sessions with friends and challengers from around the world; it’s like a skatepark that never closes,” said Robomodo president Josh Tsui.

“You can play with 20 people at once, which is insane.”

Players will also be able to build their own skateparks to share with the community.

Note that these online features are only in the new-gen version – the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions won't have online play.

The game’s skateboarding pros include Tony Hawk, Nyjah Huston, Chris Cole, Riley Hawk, Aaron “Jaws” Homoki, Lizzie Armanto, Leticia Bufoni, David Gonzalez, Andrew Reynolds, and Ishod Wair.

Of course, you can create your own skater too.

“The gameplay is in the signature style of classic Pro Skater games in a brand-new set of levels with the same focus on daring objectives, fine-tuned controls, and high-score tricks — including manuals and reverts — for stringing together those huge combos,” said Tsui.
