Five years after the return of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, THPS 3 and 4 are finally being remastered and will be released on July 11.
Theseason 20 roadmapthat takes us through June 2025 is filled with mutated rewards and XP boosts, all available either through a Fallout 1st membership, or subscription to a season pass.
Yet, if you’re planning on exploring the wasteland as a ghoul, Bethesda has you covered with a recently releasedghoul guidethat contains useful information about the specific changes and perks you can expect with this new playstyle.
While the trailer shows a player slowly mutating into a ghoul, many fans are still likely confused about what this new mechanic entails.First, becoming a ghoul is only possible through a specific questline at levels 50 and up.
Once youturn into a ghoul, you’ll have the option to switch back. Sadly, according to the season notes, if you ever wish to turn back into a ghoul after the reversal, it’ll only be available through a purchasable fee.
Alongside turning into a ghoul, the game will support new ways of play that focus on your mutated form. As expected, you’ll be immune to radiation, and you can also expect social impacts, such as being ostracized fromsome factionsand an overall debuff to stats such as charisma.
New Mechanics Coming To Season 20
While playing as a ghoul seems to have its fair share of challenges, it also presents quite a few new specific ghoul-related abilities and perks, allowing players a whole new way to tackle the wasteland.
As a ghoul, you’ll have to constantly watch your “feral meter,” which when filled, will negatively impact your aiming and charisma, but increase your melee damage.Many perks interact with this system, allowing for more aggressive feral attacks or a slower filling meter.

Luckily, Bethesda says this new update has many other notable additions “even if you’re not going the way of the ghoul.”New challenges and camp updates allow players tocustomize their baseswith a slew of radiation-infused decorations.
