Xbox has reached an agreement with 'Crash Bandicoot,' 'Spyro' dev Toys for Bob for their new game

EXCLUSIVE: Toys for Bob known for handling "Crash Bandicoot" and "Spyro" is now working with Microsoft on their first game since going independent.

• Recently, Microsoft acquired Activision-Blizzard-King in a blockbuster $72 billion deal that gave the software giant control over franchises like Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Candy Crush Saga.
• Included in the acquisition was legendary studio Toys for Bob, who have worked on franchises like Skylanders, Spyro the Dragon, and Crash Bandicoot, across a 30-year history.
• Last month, Microsoft and Toys for Bob agreed to part ways with the latter spinning out into an independent company.
• Microsoft retains ownership of Skylanders, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and other properties associated with Activision.
• Our sources have confirmed that Toys for Bob has now finalized an agreement with Xbox to fund their first title.

Matt Booty, now leading Xbox's game content division, reportedly said that an agreement has now been reached between Xbox and Toys for Bob for their first game as an independent studio. However, he stopped short of describing exactly what it will be, although he did say something along the lines of, and I'm paraphrasing, "it will be similar to games Toys for Bob has made in the past."

It seems entirely likely that Toys for Bob's first game out of the gate could either be within the Crash or Spyro pantheon, but it could also be something else completely, perhaps Toys for Bob's very own IP

I wonder what it is.

The agreement is they can use spyro or crash bandicoot but it will have to release on Xbox & be gamepass day one on both Xbox & pc

Spyro 4 is my guess

Doesn’t say it’s their only game does it? This will probably be a small indie game and their real game will be with some one else.

We'll see in 2 or 3 years if anything comes out but I doubt it. This is a fraud game that will quietly get cancelled when the cult of Phil dies down.

The only reason they'd be making agreements with Microsoft would be the use of the crash & spyro IPs

They've teased a new spyro game , although if it's anything like crash team rumble they're done for

It's impressive how easy it is to not care about Xbox games despite their massive size.

I care about crash & spyro

I care about crash & spyro

I don't. Got the remakes already and I'm satisfied. I don't need every IP to be endlessly milked.

Endlessly milked ? We've not had a new spyro In like 20 years

And? What don't you get about not everything needing endless sequels? Insomniac moved on and that is an IP that made sense in the context of PS1 odds are it's going to get a mediocre at best irrelevant sequel.

Sometimes it's time to move on, sometimes it's not. I'm one of those ppl you can give me a thousand Dark Souls games and I won't get tired.
