"Toys for Bob Goes Independent: What's Next for the Studio Behind Crash Bandicoot and Spyro?"

Toys for Bob, the studio behind popular games like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, has announced its split from Activision Blizzard to become an independent game development studio and is exploring a partnership with Microsoft. The move comes as the studio aims to take its future games to the next level and return to its roots as a small and nimble studio. The announcement follows Microsoft's recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard and coincides with other studios, such as Saber Interactive and potentially Gearbox, also making moves away from their current owners.
