In a bit of a surprising move, yesterday developer Toys For Bob announced via a blog post that they are splitting off from Activision and Microsoft.

“With the same enthusiasm and passion, we believe that now is the time to take the studio and our future games to the next level. This opportunity allows us to return to our roots of being a small and nimble studio.

Over the years, we’ve inspired love, joy, and laughter for the inner child in all gamers. We pioneered new IP and hardware technologies in Skylanders. We raised the bar for best-in-class remasters in Spyro Reignited Trilogy. We’ve taken Crash Bandicoot to innovative, critically acclaimed new heights.”

However despite this news they have also said they are still planning to partner with Microsoft going forward and even hint at their next release coming from their beloved Spyro franchise by telling everyone to “Keep your horns on and eyes out for more news”
