Toys for Bob prend son indépendance pour relancer la série Spyro

Toys for Bob a racheté son indépendance à Microsoft après des années sous la tutelle d'Activision Blizzard. Cette décision permet au studio de se concentrer sur des projets tels que le tout récent Spyro: A Realm Beyond.

Le directeur du studio Toys for Bob, Paul Yan, a déclaré que l'équipe a profité du rachat d'Activision Blizzard par Microsoft pour reprendre le contrôle créatif de ses productions. Le studio a quitté Activision en 2024 après avoir racheté ses parts afin d'échapper aux impératifs d'entreprise qui exigeaient de travailler sur des titres tels que Warzone, Modern Warfare et Overwatch 2. Yan a affirmé que l'objectif était de « revenir aux jeux qui ont fait notre réputation, tout en préservant notre équipe soudée ». Toys for Bob a précédemment développé Skylanders, les récents jeux Crash Bandicoot et les titres Spyro the Dragon. Cette indépendance a mené à l'annonce de Spyro: A Realm Beyond, marquant un retour aux racines du studio dans le genre du jeu de plateforme.
