Toys for Bob, developer of the Crash Bandicoot 4 and Skylanders series, has announced a publishing deal with Xbox for its next game. The studio recently became independent after being spun off from its previous parent company, Activision Blizzard.
The studio said the new title is “in the early stages of development” and won’t be seen for some time. Whatever this game is, Xbox will be its home. This isn’t surprising, as the studio revealed a few months ago that it was exploring a relationship with the publisher.
We are pleased to announce that we are partnering with: @Xbox To release the next new game. We’re still in the early stages of development, so you may not hear anything from us for a while. But please know that we work hard to create a truly inspired experience! I’d like to share more 💜 pic.twitter.com/6EqrQbabpv

Toys For Bob became independent in February, a few months after Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard. The studio appears to be having its cake and eating it too, as it can still work with Xbox while being an autonomous entity. Before leaving Activision, Toys For Bob worked on recent Crash Bandicoot games such as Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time and Crash Team Rumble. He also developed the Spyro Reignited Trilogy and created the once hugely popular Skylanders series.
