Speculation surrounding a new game from Toys for Bob is currently doing the rounds after the team updated its website to a singular shot of its Crash Bandicoot-inspired logo of a purple Tiki mask. The studio, which went independent earlier this year, is best known for its work creating Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time and the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, which brought back the first three PS1 classics on PS4.
Now scrubbed of any news articles, game information, or contact points, the official website simply dons the following logo without any links to other pages:
After going indie in February 2024, the developer said: "We believe that now is the time to take the studio and our future games to the next level. This opportunity allows us to return to our roots of being a small and nimble studio. While we’re in the early days of developing our next new game and a ways away from making any announcements, our team is excited to develop new stories, new characters, and new gameplay experiences."
Since we are only a few months on from the statement being made, it's unlikely Toys for Bob is directly teasing a new game with this website update. It explained it's "a ways away from making any announcements" just two months ago.
Despite that, there's been speculation Toys for Bob will still be working with Microsoft on a new game — the company that owns the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon IPs following its purchase of Activision. There's a history of new Crash Bandicoot titles getting announced at Summer Game Fest, but it seems a bit too early for Toys for Bob right now.

Hopefully spyro 4 🙂
I don’t understand how tys for bob was allowed to go independent but tango was closed completely
Personally didn't like their Spyro remakes or their interpretation of Crash happy for people who do I just didn't care for it
Crash bandicoot 4 would be good to see.word up son
I hope if it's a new Crash it's not as frustratingly difficult as Crash 4.
@playstation1995 crash 4 has been out for a couple of years buddy. You mean crash 5?
@Artois2 it’s a small mercy that at least one small studio got out of dodge.
I was really hoping for a new Banjo-Kazooie from this team...
It’s a Crash logo, but it’s purple. So Crash/Spyro crossover.
@playstation1995
Crash 4 is already out, it’s called Crash Bandicoot 4 it’s about time.
Think you mean Crash 5? Or Spyro 4?
@RBMango
Unless they get the rights from Rare I don’t see it happening sadly
They should save VV from ActiBlizz too.
Really hoping it is a new Spyro
crash 4 was wrath of cortex , crash it’s about time ain’t cannon
@DiggleDog Yeah get out of dodge only for them to crawl back to Microsoft and beg them to use their IP and to fund their next game
Its hilarious how people advocate for developers to go independent but when it comes time to pay bills expect big corporations to step in
@Artois2 Exactly this! Why couldn't they have just had an amicable separation? I know there's probably a million business reasons why it went the way it did, but to just completely bin talented Devs with a well respected back catalogue just seems like utter madness.
@Kidfunkadelic83. Yeah i meant 5.haha.i enjoy crash more than spyro.word up son
@Decimateh-xblz Not fan of spyro as i am fan of Crash, but it is time for Spyro to have 4th sequel like Crash 4.
Now remember this is microsoft owners, do you think this will be released to PS5?
@R-Soub Microsoft is pretty much going full third party, by the start of next gen expect all MS games to be on PS5 day and date
Party like it's 2024 were still waiting or for a new IP if their pull away but still partering with Microsoft.
That looks like a mask so I think Crash. Where is Spyro?
Where is some modern Spyro ideas? Well time to play more niche 5th gen platformers and no I don't mean nostalgia inspired Indies inspired by Spyro or others. No thanks. Sick to death of them being so repetitive that's why the niche platformers with ideas no one cares to look at because less repetition and nostalgia milk easy sales games.
@R-Soub I reckon it will be as it's a game that loads people have played before. Gamepass on Xbox sales on ps
