Devs Behind Crash 4 and Spyro Remakes Appear to Have Entered an Agreement With Microsoft. They Are „Very Inspired” by New Game That May Be Crash Bandicoot 5
The developers of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time and the Spyro remakes, Toys for Bob studio, have officially announced that they are working on a new game that Microsoft will be responsible for releasing.
After Toys for Bob became independent from Activision a few months ago, it was announced that Microsoft would be the publisher of the studio's next game. Unfortunately, the devs are unable to disclose the specifics of this enigmatic project at this early stage of production.
We're excited to announce that we'll be partnering with Xbox to publish our next new game. We're still very early in development, so you might not hear from us for a bit - but know that we're working hard on an experience we're so sooo inspired about -- we read in a post published on X.
The purple hues in the graphic above hint that the new game from Toys for Bob could be the next installment in the Spyro series, while the mask (seen below) that has been present on the official website for some time is strongly reminiscent of the Crash Bandicoot series.
Established in 1989, Toys for Bob is a studio that is highly familiar to video game fans. This company has gained fame for titles like The Horde and the first two installments of the Star Control series during its many years of operation. In 2005, the team came under the wing of Activision. Under the banner of this publisher, Toys for Bob developed the Skylanders series. The developers also have in their portfolio Spyro Reignited Trilogy, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, and Crash Team Rumble. They also contributed to the development of Call of Duty: Warzone, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.
