Potential spoilers for a secret character to follow!Posted on Reddit images of the character Officer Dick are found in the game files, with the face model now apparently based on Jack Black.
Officer Dick appeared in the original Tony Skea’s Pro Skater games and later in the 2012 remake of HD as a Secret Skater, suggesting that Jack Black might unlock in the remake if certain criteria are met.
Jack Black’s involvement in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater remake was previously tested on Jack Black’s YouTube channel, Jablinski Games. Black also made a surprise appearance in a video for the skateboarding YouTube channel The Berrics, in which Tony Hawk interviewed “The Original THPS Cast,” suggesting that he was involved in some capacity in the remake.
This pictured leak seems to confirm that he will be appearing in some capacity in the game when it launches on September 4, 2020, for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
It was revealed last week that the game will change its name from the “Mute” grab-skate trick in honor of its original creator. If you picked up the demo to train before you release, check out our tricklist to get the most out of your two minutes with The Birdman.
