Here's What We Know

American studio Toys for Bob - the creator of the excellent Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Spyro Reignited Trilogy remakes - has announced that it has become an independent company again.

Toys for Bob had been part of Activision since 2005 and the co-operation was mutually beneficial. However, after the release of the highly acclaimed Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, Activision fired most of the studio's employees and no longer assigned it its own projects, but instead required Toys for Bob to support Call of Duty: Warzone.

The studio was not satisfied with such an assignment and the management of Toys for Bob decided to split from Activision and work as an independent company.

Toys for Bob does not exclude further co-operation with Activision and Microsoft, but as an equal partner. The studio has already started working on its own project, which has long dreamed of.
