As reported by Windows Central, the recently established independent game studio Toys for Bob, which announced last month that it was leaving Activision, a company owned by Microsoft, has signed a deal with Xbox for a new game. Toys for Bob developed 2018’s Spyro Reignited Trilogy and was also responsible for Crash Bandicoot 4 and the N. Sane Trilogy’s Nintendo Switch port.
There are no real details yet as to what the new title might be, aside from a comment by Xbox’s Matt Booty that it will be in line with the kind of games Toys for Bob has become known for, according to sources cited by Windows Central. Toys for Bob also led the development of the early Skylanders toys-to-life games. Though it only recently departed from the Activision Blizzard/Microsoft family, the studio indicated leading up to the news of its deal with Xbox that it would remain open to working with its former employer on future projects.
In February, Toys for Bob said it was “exploring a possible partnership between our new studio and Microsoft,” and that it was “confident that we will continue to work closely together” with Activision and Microsoft. “So, keep your horns on and your eyes out for more news,” the studio wrote.
