Toys for Bobhas recently gone through a major transition. In 2020, the game developer’s co-founders Paul Reich III and Fred Ford left the studio to found a new team. Under new leadership, it was also announced thatToys for Bobwould become a support studio forCall of Duty: Warzone. TheCrash Bandicoot 4: It’s About TimeandSpyro Reignited Trilogydeveloper may not be done working on its own projects, too, however. A Twitter post from Toys for Bob hints at some upcoming product announcements.
A recent tweet from the official Toys for Bob Twitter account shared a photo of the company’s “Wall of Games.” The wall features 17 picture frames, each holding a game box cover and disc. The games go all the way back toToys for Bob’s original games,Star Controland its sequelStar Control 2. There’s also an eighteenth frame on the wall, with “???” labeled inside of it to denote that a surprise could be in store for Toys for Bob fans.

The message attached to the photo also hints at an upcoming surprise. “It’s pretty convenient we have more wall space to cover…” reads the associated message, with a winking emoji. The implication being thatToys for Bob has a new project in development. That could mean that an announcement is forthcoming, though it could just be Toys for Bob wanting to share the news that something is in the works even if it can’t talk about it for some time, too.
As for what the new project could be, there’s no obvious answer.Toys for Bob working onCall of Duty: Warzoneis a new direction for the studio, which could lead to a new direction for the studio’s projects. Perhaps theCall of Duty: Warzoneexperience is intended to help the team shift toward FPS development, where it could work on remasters or remakes or past Activision hits in the genre.
Fans of Toys for Bob will know that the studio’s modern wheelhouse remains platforming games.Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Timewas a striking success, as were theSpyro Reignited Trilogyremasters. Toys for Bob could easily be working on a newCrash BandicootorSpyrogame. Fans would certainly want to see that happen.
Needless to say, all eyes will be watching for a new Toys for Bob announcement to be shared at various upcoming gaming events. Perhaps it’s a coincidence, but next week isGamescom Opening Night Live, which will certainly have some big game reveals. There’s no certainty a reveal will be coming soon fromToys for Bob, but just the confirmation that a new game is in the works should be enough to hold fans over for the foreseeable future.
