Toys For Bob, previously owned by Activision, has partnered with Xbox for its next game following its shift to independence. This news has fueled speculation about a potential new Spyro game, as hinted by a recent tweet from the developer showcasing purple-themed visuals. Previously, Toys For Bob was known for developing the Spyro Reignited Trilogy and the Skylanders series. The new project is still in early development, and details are sparse, but expectations are high given the company's track record with beloved franchises.

Is Toys For Bob working on a new Spyro game?

While nothing has been officially confirmed, the hint of purple in Toys For Bob's announcement has led many fans to speculate that a new Spyro game could be in the works. The studio has a history with the franchise, having developed the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, making it a plausible development.

Background: Toys For Bob gained fame with Skylanders, a series that combined toys with video games. Their involvement with Spyro came full circle with the Reignited Trilogy, a remastered collection of the original Spyro games, which was well-received by fans and critics alike. The partnership with Xbox opens new possibilities, especially since Xbox now owns the rights to the Spyro series following its acquisition of Activision.
