So last month Toys for Bob announced that they're going to become an indie studi0, they shut down their physical headquarters in California since it was too expensive to keep up, and people almost worried that TFB were going to be shutting down for good. TFB have stated that they are still in a partnership with Microsoft too, so what does this mean for any future Skylanders games?
In my personal opinion, I don't think this actually changes much for the future of Skylanders. Since Microsoft is still partnered with them they can still use IPs such as Crash Bandicoot and Skylanders.
I still hold onto some hope that a remaster is a possibility in the future, but I do doubt that there will be anything relating to Skylanders being released for years to come.
Addressing some claims going about from their post: (Note that I am not an employee of TFB and that these are just what I have inferred from research)
Skylanders is not cancelled forever but the chances of a new game are still slim
No, the fact that 'horns' are mentioned here does not confirm a new Skylanders game like some people are saying (what logic is that???)
Toys for Bob mentioning Skylanders (once) in the post also does not confirm a new game
So in the end, what does this mean? Nothing too much really in terms of Skylanders.
The chances of getting a new game is the same as before, still miniscule. But this doesn't mean that the series is done for good.
