Toys for Bob has officially announced a partnership with Microsoft for their upcoming game, which is set to be developed independently following the studio’s departure from Activision Blizzard. This new collaboration comes after Toys for Bob expressed their interest in working with Microsoft to support their future projects. According to a recent report from Windows Central, this partnership has been finalized, and it seems that Toys for Bob is already diving into the development of their new game.
A Hint at Familiar Titles
During a Microsoft town hall meeting, Matt Booty from the Xbox game content division confirmed the agreement between Xbox and Toys for Bob for their first game as an independent studio. While Booty did not explicitly reveal the title of the game, he hinted that it will be similar to the studio’s previous works. Toys for Bob is best known for their contributions to games like Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, and Skylanders – a spin-off of Spyro. Given the studio’s history and Booty’s comments, speculations suggest that the upcoming game could potentially be another installment in the Spyro series.
In a cryptic sign-off statement by Toys for Bob leaders Paul Yan and Avery Lodato, they teased, “So, keep your horns on and your eyes out for more news.” This phrase not only references Spyro’s iconic horns but also mirrors a line spoken by a rescued dragon in the original Spyro the Dragon game. This subtle hint has fueled further speculation about the nature of the studio’s upcoming project.
While the specifics of the partnership agreement between Toys for Bob and Microsoft have not been disclosed, it raises questions about the direction of the studio’s future endeavors. It is plausible that the partnership could involve intellectual property rights and the development of new games within the franchises that Toys for Bob is renowned for. The exact details of the deal remain confidential, but it is evident that Microsoft’s involvement will play a significant role in shaping Toys for Bob’s next chapter.
Despite the excitement surrounding Toys for Bob’s newfound independence and collaboration with Microsoft, the studio remains tight-lipped about the details of their upcoming project. In a recent blog post, Toys for Bob mentioned that their next game is still in its early stages of development. As fans eagerly await further updates, it is clear that Toys for Bob is gearing up to deliver another immersive and captivating gaming experience. Stay tuned for more exciting developments on the horizon.
