Just a few weeks ago, Xbox owner Microsoft announced massive layoffs, and now in an update, it appears Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and Skylanders developer Toys for Bob has been hit.
According to San Francisco Chronicle, 86 workers will be affected at the developer’s office in Novato, California. The state filing also revealed the facility was closing.
While it’s unclear exactly what this means for the studio moving forward, Windows Central’s Jez Corden already “received confirmation that Toys for Bob is not closing“. In addition to the affected employees, it is claimed the remaining team is still active as remote workers.
Another developer from Activision (and California) Sledgehammer Games (Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3) has also been hit by layoffs lately, with 76 workers. As part of this apparent restructuring, she has closed her office, moved away and intends to downsize to a smaller office (via Insider Gaming).
During the last year, Toys for Bob were released Crash Team Rumble and supported Sledgehammer on the new Call of duty title.
