Activision has confirmed that a Tony Hawk's Project 8 demo will be appearing on Xbox Live Marketplace "soon" - although there's no word on exact details for now.

The news comes after an update to the game's official website added a line of text that read, "Check out the playable demo on Xbox Live Marketplace".

Project 8 is in development for multiple current- and next-gen platforms including PlayStation 3, although developer Neversoft recently confirmed that the PS3 version would omit online play.

New mission types include Filmer and Photo goals, where the idea is to perform tricks for a photo shoot or follow cameraman instructions, while customisation options will allow you to change the surrounding area to fit your skating needs.
