Former Activision Blizzard studio “Toys for Bob,” the maker of games including “Spyro,” “Crash Bandicoot” and “Skylanders,” is teaming up with Xbox for its first game after striking out as an indie developer.
Activision Blizzard purchased Toys for Bob in 2005. Following Microsoft closing its $69 billion deal acquisition of Activision Blizzard last fall and making multiple cuts and changes across divisions, the Paul Yan and Avery Lodato-run Toys for Bob became an independent studio Feb. 29.
On Friday, Toys for Bob revealed it had struck a deal with Xbox to publish the “Spyro” developer’s first title as an indie.
