Toys for Bob developers have explained why they returned to Spyro instead of tackling a certain other Microsoft platformer series.
Speaking to GamesRadar+, Lou Studdert, associate creative director on Spyro: A Realm Beyond, and Paul Yan, studio head at Toys for Bob, were asked why the studio chose to return to the Spyro series for its collaboration with Microsoft. While the team has worked on the franchise before, many wondered if the previously announced collab would be a new Banjo-Kazooie or any other game franchise Microsoft owns (including Crash Bandicoot, which Toys for Bob led development of for its last two games).
