So, Canadian Guy Eh, one of the biggest content creators for Spyro & Crash content has once again made a video about Toys For Bob.
Summary:
- He had many private talks with people in the industry over the last few months and always heard whispers about Spyro 4
- On March 20 he flew to Boston for PAX East and had conversations with a lot of developers
- Some of the developers he talked to also heard stuff about Spyro 4 and one person in particular heard things that matched up with what he heard before
- On Saturday an article by Jez said that Toys For Bob had worked out a deal with Microsoft to work on their first new independent game that is "similar to their previous games", which was a quote by Xbox's Matt Booty.
- Canadian Guy Eh heard about this before the article dropped.
- After the article he talked to these people at PAX again and now that the article was out, one of those people confirmed to him that Spyro 4 is in active development since January 2024.
Take this with a grain of salt as always but I'd say he is pretty reliable and if all the information he was given matches up, I don't see why I would not trust him and it would only make sense, given that TFB loves the Spyro franchise and Microsoft would probably like to have some kid friendly games in their portfolio.
Also remember their "keep your horns on" tease from their blog post where they announced they were going indie along with the purple, crystal like article image. https://www.toysforbob.com/blog/2024/WereGoingIndie
