Toys for Bob went impartial final month, nevertheless it has apparently landed a take care of Microsoft for its subsequent sport.
Final month, Toys for Bob introduced that it could be going impartial as a studio, which means it could possibly make what it likes with out being pressured onto Name of Obligation tasks. In fact, that has led to loads of followers hoping that it’ll get to maintain making Crash Bandicoot video games even when it is not owned by Activision Blizzard or Microsoft anymore. It is future nonetheless is not clear, however based on a latest report from Window Central’s Jez Cordon, the studio has shaped a deal for its first sport since going impartial – and it is with Microsoft of all corporations.
“Sources have indicated to me beforehand that Toys for Bob’s tradition did not gel nicely with Activision’s oft-restrictive company mandates, they usually have been excited for the chance to spin out as impartial in settlement with Microsoft,” Corden defined in his report. In Toys for Bob’s announcement submit about going impartial, it did say that it was “assured” that it could “proceed to work carefully collectively” with Activision and Microsoft as a part of its future, in order that on the very least appears to be the case with the latter.
There was no phrase on what the sport that Toys for Bob is making will likely be like, although apparently it will likely be much like video games they’ve made prior to now. That would imply a complete vary of issues, like platformers, a brand new Crash or Spyro sport, and even perhaps one other try at one thing like Skylanders, the Spyro spin-off that kicked off the Amiibo craze. I personally would not guess on a sport that requires you to purchase precise toys, these days seem like accomplished, although I do not assume a platformer is all that unlikely. Within the meantime, you will simply have to attend and see.
