The War Thunder publisher expands its portfolio with “The Pit”, one of Fortnite’s most successful user-created maps.
Gaijin Entertainment is thrilled to announce the acquisition of The Pit, one of the most successful user-created maps in Fortnite. This multi-million-dollar deal in the Fortnite Creative ecosystem signals a new strategic direction for Gaijin, as the company makes a major move into the user-generated content space.
Originally developed by renowned Fortnite creator Geerzy (Gavin Gear), The Pit has been a standout success in Fortnite, attracting millions of players. With Fortnite operating as an expansive ecosystem where creators can monetize their maps through Epic Games’ engagement payout model, this acquisition represents a highly profitable and scalable opportunity for Gaijin.
“The Pit has been a defining project for me, and I’m thrilled to see it enter a new phase under Gaijin Entertainment. Their expertise in online gaming and commitment to innovation make them the perfect team to take The Pit to the next level,” said Geerzy, creator of The Pit.
Prior to this acquisition, Gaijin Entertainment and Geerzy collaborated to hand over this Island to EndoWorlds, a Gaijin portfolio studio, to manage and expand “The Pit”. After the transitional period of two months, both parties agreed that the new team is more than capable of bringing “The Pit” to new heights.
“When we launched Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), we envisioned building an ecosystem where creators could develop engaging experiences and choose how to grow their business in Fortnite,” said Saxs Persson, EVP of the Fortnite Ecosystem at Epic Games. “It’s awesome to see the investment from Gaijin, and we hope investments like this will lead to new opportunities for creators.”
“The acquisition of The Pit marks a new chapter for us” said Anton Yudintsev, founder of Gaijin Entertainment. “We are committed to supporting innovative gaming experiences, and UGC on platforms such as Fortnite is a new exciting opportunity for us”.
With this acquisition, Gaijin Entertainment continues to evolve beyond its traditional portfolio, embracing new business models and looking for more ways to bring new fun experiences to gamers on all modern and future platforms.
While Gaijin is widely known for its free-to-play games, the company is actively diversifying and exploring new business models. In 2025, Gaijin is set to launch several paid titles, including Aces of Thunder (a VR flight action game developed by an internal team), Active Matter (a sci-fi extraction shooter developed by Matter Team), and has already released Cubic Odyssey (an indie open world adventure developed by Atypical Games).
About Gaijin Entertainment
Gaijin Entertainment is the developer and publisher of the online games War Thunder, Crossout, Enlisted, CRSED: F.O.A.D. and Star Conflict as well as other PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, iOS and Android titles across several genres. The company’s diverse portfolio has received a range of mass media and game industry awards including such as Gamescom Award and many more. Official website: http://gaijinent.com/“

Tony Hawk has one of the most recognisable properties in the industry. While the last decade has been slow, to say the least, for the franchise, we are finally getting some love with solid remakes. This time around, we are seeing a release for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4. With some refinements and gameplay adjustments in tow, do these two have the same impact as the last re-release or is the excitement over from celebrating the past? Let’s find out.
Story
There isn’t a lot to say here, to be honest, as Tony Hawk isn’t known for a traditional “Story Mode”. Much like the rest of the franchise, “Career” mode stays the same, having players collect items and complete score goals to progress. It’s rather simple, and I do wish there were more depth at times, but this is a remake, and the focus on gameplay is perfectly fine for this run. The games still live off their sense of character, with each level being baked to the brim with life, commotion, and a lot to explore as you work to knock out letters and hit tricks in style.
Gameplay
There is something truly special about how accessible Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater is, and how well it has been adapted for modern platforms. I suppose we would almost need to retread the 1+2 collection to dive into that subject yet again, as while the gameplay itself is almost identical, there is enough difference in the 3+4 collection for it to feel new and exciting. The controls are streamlined and mapped well, making tricks easy to hit as players fly through each track. Sure, you still need a bit of skill, but features made for newcomers assist with that, adding optional difficulty settings while you get re-adjusted to the game itself.
The roster is equally impressive, with modernised versions of almost all past characters from these entries. We also get added maps such as Pinball and Waterpark, which add a lot of new flair for the game, as each map is set up strategically to accommodate the standard gameplay session with a two-minute timer. What is missing this time around are the features from 4 that allowed for more freedom and made the game feel distinct, acting as an evolution at the time for the franchise. While those maps are included, the same engine and features’ rules apply. With this, results may vary on enjoyment as while everything is still fully playable, the time restriction can feel a bit out of place compared to the originals. Sure, things fit still, but just not as cohesively.
Creation takes centre stage yet again for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, and this time, we get everything for the park creator unlocked from the start. This is ultimately a game of “jump-in, jump-out” gameplay, so I think that works pretty well with this offering. Players can also make a skater to their liking with a decent creation suite for in-game characters, giving a little more personalisation to the experience.
It’s kind of hard to sit here and say that 3 + 4 are anything less than stellar here, as the gameplay is just so polished that it’s hard not to be ecstatic that a collection like this even exists. That said, I do think that these games, while both large, are certainly feeling like they are more of an expansion to the original two remastered versions, rather than something truly new. The parks are great, the gameplay is fluid and fun, but there just isn’t a ton of “new” offerings here outside of a mode or two to really make it feel like we are moving forward. For Tony Hawk, however, that is just fine.
Audio
The soundtrack is fantastic yet again. You still get your CKY and Aces of Spades, but now there is a good set of new tracks for those with more modern tastes. Everything flows right into this game, and playlists mean you can only listen to what you want to hear, adding the player’s own preference to the experience. The other audio is great, with minor voice work added in to polish up the experience. Sure, there isn’t a ton new here, but it gets the job done well enough.
Visuals
This is the most impressive part. We are on a new console generation since 1 + 2 released, and it is nice to see Hawk and friends look their best for these entries. The parks are also full of animation and life, making exploration feel mandatory to really see everything one area has to offer compared to the next. From the shading to the lighting, it really feels like something special to see the redesigned environments Iron Galaxy created here, and they’re made with a lot of respect to the originals, making this offering feel like it was done with love.
Overall
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 brings back two smash hits, throws in some modern spins, and delivers from top to bottom another fantastic package for fans new and old of this beloved franchise. I think there is a critical part of myself that wants more of minor things or to see exact replicas in some ways, but that isn’t what this franchise is about. It’s the player picking up a board and hitting the streets, and that really is all we need. While not evolutionary in any way, this package is yet another tribute that will be sure to be a cornerstone of the collections of those it was meant for – the fans.

They’ve immersed themselves in the Hellraiser universe, capturing its essence—the seductive pull of suffering, the beauty within the grotesque—and forged a narrative that invites players to step beyond the threshold. I’m eager for both the curious and the damned to experience this new chapter in the Hellraiser mythos, where every moment balances on the brink of nightmare and revelation.”
“Hellraiser is the quintessential horror franchise, and lends itself perfectly to a video game,” said Matthew Karch, CEO and co-founder of Saber Interactive. “Saber has had success with horror IPs in the past, and working alongside Clive to create tense gameplay and a new story that delves into the twisted depths of pain and pleasure has been a real treat. We look forward to opening up the gates of hell.”

Discover the tale of Aidan, who must unlock the dark powers of the Genesis Configuration, a mysterious puzzle box, to help his girlfriend from a hellish abyss. As Aidan, you’ll harness the box’s infernal abilities to survive your pact with the sinister Pinhead and battle against the twisted cult that worships him and the Cenobites. Fail, and your suffering will be legendary, even in Hell.
We have such sights to show you…
