OlliOlli, a 2D skateboarding game that first arrived for PlayStation Vita in January 2014, is coming to Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, and Xbox One in early 2015, as announced by publisher Curve Digital in a new trailer.

Developed by British studio Roll7, OlliOlli plays like the lovechild of Tony Hawk Pro Skater and Canabalt. Tony Hawk’s pursuit of stylish moves and combos is compressed into two dimensions, trading exploration for a punishing series of unlockable challenges across linear levels. The PC port, released in July 2014, featured 250 challenges, 120 tricks and grinds, and an unlockable “RAD” mode. No word yet on whether these new ports will feature any additional content.

The game has since come out on Linux, Mac, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Windows platforms. The impending 2015 release brings the game up to date with most contemporary platforms, except for mobile phones. That’s ironic, given that the game was originally being developed for iOS before Roll7 approached Sony.

When you look at the best PlayStation 5 games, or even a list of the best video games of all time, odds are you will see at least one game from developer Naughty Dog. Our list of upcoming video games was already stacked prior to The Game Awards 2024, but the last announcement of the night added one more to the list that might beat out other heavy hitters like Ghost of Yotei and Wolverine. As this is coming from Naughty Dog, this is already one of our most anticipated upcoming PS5 game, but others might need more convincing. We took out a bounty on all the information there is on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and this is what we came up with.

If you don't have a PS5, there are plenty of upcoming Xbox Series X, upcoming PC, and upcoming Switch games, too.
