13.01.2009
In an chronicling Joel Jewett's rise from skater punk to co-founder and president of , the video game development company behind the franchise and the latest titles, Jewett confirms that Neversoft is not working on the newest, upcoming Tony Hawk skateboarding game. Here's what he had to say:

Neversoft plans to release more sequels to the "Guitar Hero" series - including the much-ballyhooed "Guitar Hero: Metallica" set for release during the first quarter of this year - but the company has let the Tony Hawk series go to another developer. It's probably best for the franchise ... it's time for someone else to add fresh ideas to it," Jewett said.
