The team is also behind games like Skylanders, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, and more.
This is GREAT news. This means they can focus on making great original games and not be dragged into working on call of duty. Please just give me a new Spyro.
This is fairly confusing. Toys for Bob were owned wholey by Activision, ergo they were then owned by Microsoft. Now they are … free? And exploring a relationship with Microsoft?
It’s hard to understand how this happened unless Microsoft wanted to close the studio and offered them independence instead. But then why work on a new thing?
They let Bungie go as well. Maybe it was just a downsizing decision. Their roles were redundant or they didn’t want to invest in whatever they were proposing. Idk.

Could be. Microsoft closing a studio wholesale after acquiring Activision would invite anti-trust action from various governments.
I’m fairly sure Microsoft just saw that the studio had potential and didn’t want them to be tied to ActiBlizz.
So move them anywhere else in the company, they owned them outright.
