Crash 4 developer Toys For Bob is becoming independent amidst shutdown rumors.
Toys For Bob, the creative minds behind Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, have announced that they are going independent! This news comes as a surprise to many, considering the studio was recently acquired by Microsoft as part of the Activision Blizzard deal. But fear not, dear gamers, because this means that Toys For Bob has even more freedom to bring us exciting new games and experiences.
In a recent blog post, the studio revealed their decision to become an independent studio once again, stepping out from under Microsoft’s wing. While the details of their newfound independence haven’t been disclosed, the blog post did mention that Toys For Bob is currently in talks with Microsoft for future collaborations. So, it seems like this breakup is an amicable one, with potential for future partnerships.
Now, you might be wondering, what does this mean for the next game from Toys For Bob? Well, according to the blog post, the studio is already hard at work developing their next game, though it’s unclear whether it will be a new IP or a continuation of an existing franchise. Either way, we can expect new stories, new characters, and new gameplay experiences!
But wait, there’s more! It’s worth mentioning that Toys For Bob faced some unfortunate layoffs earlier this year, with 86 employees being let go as part of Microsoft’s larger workforce reduction. The studio’s office also closed down, forcing the remaining team members to work remotely. However, this setback hasn’t dampened their spirits or their commitment to creating amazing games.
As we eagerly await more news about Toys For Bob’s future projects, it’s important to note that they’re not the only studio seeking independence. Recent reports suggest that both Saber Interactive and Gearbox may also be on the path to gaining their autonomy in the near future.
So, fellow gamers, strap yourselves in and get ready for an exciting journey with Toys For Bob as they embark on this new chapter. We can’t wait to see what they have in store for us!
