nicoreese Member Jan 18, 2018 1,409 Canadian Guy Eh had the opportunity to do an email interview with Paul Yan, the studio head of Toys for Bob. Summary: - they're 100% remote now (and have been since 2020) - their mission is to create family friendly, cartoony games with whimsical worlds that bring out the inner child in any gamer - big and ambitious project in development - they work together with Xbox AND Activision on this new project - Would love to work on a new Banjo game (so that's likely not the one in development) - All of Paul's answers in his mail were… purple I think it does not get any clearer than this that the next project is Spyro.  Patitoloco Member Oct 27, 2017 27,499 Spyro 4 yessss   BabyDontHurtMe Member Dec 9, 2018 30,033 New Jersey I'm going to be there day one   Okabe Is Sometimes A Good Bean Member Aug 24, 2018 22,111 GUH-HUH   N1corex ▲ Legend ▲ Member Jun 7, 2020 1,932 It's totally Spyro 4   Cyanity Member Oct 25, 2017 9,927 Please Spyro 4 *please*   ket Member Jul 27, 2018 14,733 This is the same guy who claimed TFB is working on Spyro 4, right?   Violet1370 Member Oct 25, 2017 384 United Kingdom Been waiting my whole life for Spyro 4.

Apparently they started work on this project when they were still with Activision and then continued the project after going independent. It might have been more than a year. Who knows though.  Marano Member Mar 30, 2018 5,017 Rio de Janeiro So Spyro now and if they get their wish Banjo next. Considering how small they are these days, if they are still the ones to work on Crash, it will take a long time for that one (unless MS wants to comission someone else to work on either Banjo or Crash).  demu AVALANCHE Member Oct 26, 2017 2,996 Germany I will be there day one.   MidnightCowboy Member Oct 27, 2017 3,981 Spyro 4 and then Banjo Be still my heart…  wamoss Member Aug 11, 2022 1,315 Really wish we got a Crash 5 from. Love what they did with 4. Crazy it's been nearly 5 years already.   Shaneus Member Oct 27, 2017 9,110 Still so fucking weird that Toys For Bob has absolutely nothing to do with the Star Control/Ur-Quan Masters franchise.   HibbySloth One Winged Slayer Member Oct 25, 2017 6,881 So glad Toys for Bob is doing okay. Excited for Spyro and I hope they get to work on Banjo one day.   ChaosXVI Member Oct 25, 2017 3,400 I mean it's got to be a new Spyro game right?

Also, it's amusing how Crash 4 was a game I played on my Switch and Spyro 4 will be a game I play on my Switch 2.  Foolish Member Jun 23, 2022 1,452 This is how I find out Toys for Bob has been freed from the CoD mines for years?!

Click to expand... Click to shrink... Oh, yea he was like one of the most useless fighters too which was an odd choice. I don't even think he got a figure for every game which is wild lol. They only used his name for the first game. They sold hundreds of millions of toys tho. Toys For Bob would be very lucky to make a game that generates even a fraction of Skylanders revenue.  SkyscraperSWE Member Apr 8, 2025 11 Hearing Spyro still lives is heartening, but I wonder what scale the game will be at if they're not the size they used to be. I'll be there regardless, just want to know on what level my expectations should be, you know?   Rndom Grenadez Prophet of Truth Member Dec 7, 2017 6,035 Please no Spyro, more Crash!   FakePlasticTree Member Jul 24, 2018 13,444 Nicolas Kole's art style for Crash 4 and the Spyro remake was exactly how I imagined they would look in a modern lens, and Crash 4 played exactly like a modern Crash to a T. Toys for Bob really get platformers, and I Think they really got Spyro as well so them making a new Spyro is exciting if true.   Typhon Member Oct 25, 2017 6,591 Rndom Grenadez said: Please no Spyro, more Crash!

Spyro needs to even the score.  MisterGrey3000 Member Oct 27, 2017 2,005 Very selfishly I want Toys for Bob immediately workin' on Crash 5 before they ever get to Banjo because I'm a huge Banooca mark & Crash 4: IAT was excellent (which means they're the only ones I trust w/ Crash platformers right now lol)… but also I know they'd knock a mainline Banjo out of the park & I'd be there day 1 so… lol   Bucca Member Oct 25, 2017 4,861 Do not have absurd completion/skin unlock requirements for the love of christ   DoradoWinston Member Apr 9, 2019 8,216 pretty sure this is like the third time thats been said, I honestly think there may be a chance it actually happens after Spyro 4  Granjinhaa Member Dec 28, 2023 9,286 Spyro 4 being day one on game pass is gonna be so cool. Banjo probably happening after that, too.   Biteren Member Oct 29, 2017 3,759 Pandemonium 3   OP OP nicoreese Member Jan 18, 2018 1,409 SkyscraperSWE said: Hearing Spyro still lives is heartening, but I wonder what scale the game will be at if they're not the size they used to be.

They did remake two entire games (the third one was outsourced) with the Reignited trilogy in about one year and Crash 4 in about two years. I'll guess they'll scope it around that and take 3-4 years with the smaller head count.  DarkChronic Member Oct 27, 2017 5,560 I'll honestly lose it if it's a true Spyro 4. Would be amazing.   Marchbaby Member Apr 13, 2022 158 Colorado, USA Either remakes of the first two Banjo games or a new entry would be a day 1 buy for me. Same thing with Spyro 4.   Nano-Nandy Member Mar 26, 2019 2,746 Skylanders games were really great and they started as Spyro games too.

But yeah don't expect Spyro 4 before 2027.   Salikawood Member Dec 26, 2024 1,090 LET ME IN   LAA One Winged Slayer Member Oct 28, 2017 3,075 Hopefully it is indeed Spyro. Looking forward to it! Long overdue for a new Spyro game and interested what they will do with a new entry, hopefully still the same foundations of what a Spyro game should be, I.e. collecting gems, platforming and humour.
