Thank God… Can they take the Crash Bandicoot / Spryo IPs with them as well?

Toys for Bob – is epiphon of gaming industry. It will live forever 🙂
Archon fame 😉

I guess the dream of a Banjo Redooie is dead. Hopefully they make their own mascot soon.

Good they still partner with Microsoft and get put of the cod support

So they are splitting off from Activision, which was bought by Microsoft, just so they can go independent to then open up possible negotiations to work for… Microsoft. Weird.

Very shocking that Phil Spencer is allowing them to do that instead of just closing them down like they notoriously do. Obviously they won’t let go of the ip which is why TFB says they will keep working closely with them.

Well with how small their team is now, I guess it makes sense? I wonder if they’ll still get called in to help with some bigger projects occasionally or if they will just do their own thing from now on

My most unrealistic fantasy is that a newly independent Toys For Bob somehow dredges the rights to the Croc series from IP ownership hell and remakes it in the style of the Spyro/Crash remakes.

Wonder if they wanted to go multi platform and this was the only way? Either way it’s good for them to be away from the CoD.

Good for them! They had been part of the CoD machine the past few years and made a game I doubt they were particularly interested in with Crash Team Rumble. Love their games and look forward to what they’re able to work on next!

Let’s hope everything goes well for them. Loved their new Crash game.

How are they doing this? Are investors buying the company?
