No Tony Hawk: Ride For Wii In UK (Updated!)

There has been quite a surprising revelation from Activision that the new Tony Hawk: Ride game announced last week – with the new skateboard peripheral – will be an Xbox 360 exclusive.

So far this exclusivity only extends to the UK and it is unclear as to whether this is a proper or timed exclusive. Either way it looks like Microsoft have been flexing their wallet once again!

Just to be clear everyone outside the UK will still be getting a copy on all consoles. If this situation changes we’ll be the first to let you know.

Update – In a very strange turn of events from Activision, after announcing just this morning that the new Tony Hawk game would be an Xbox 360 exclusive in the UK, they have issued an updated statement saying that actually it won’t!

I think maybe someone nearing their retirement at Activision was having a laugh this morning. Here is what they had to say to correct the matter:

“Further to the erroneous information which was distributed this morning regarding Tony Hawk: RIDE, we would like to clarify that the game is due to be released on the following platforms: Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Wii™ home video game system.

We apologise for the confusion caused by this morning’s mail out and we would be grateful if you could update your coverage to reflect the correct details above.”
