Last spring, Crash & Spyro developer Toys for Bob revealed that it had begun working as a Call of Duty support studio, at least in some capacity, with its work on Warzone Season 3. Since then, the team has dropped hints of a brand-new game in the works, however it seems they've already been drafted into the Call of Duty development circle once again.
Prominent Call of Duty leaker TheGhostOfHope claims that Toys for Bob, along with another CoD support team in Beenox, has started work on a new map for Warzone 2.0. The upcoming free-to-play sequel is set to launch in mid-November, with this map then reportedly following in mid-2023.
Right now, this is just a rumour; neither development studio has confirmed working on this Warzone 2.0 map. Still, given the scale of Call of Duty's free-to-play battle royale, and the fact that Toys for Bob has worked on Warzone before, it all sounds very plausible.
Don't get us wrong, we're looking forward to Warzone 2.0 after the first game got a bit messy with Call of Duty: Vanguard's integration. Even so, this all feels like wasted potential for a team that's delivered some great Crash and Spyro games over the years. Here's hoping they're still working on something of their own as well!
What do you make of this rumour? Hope to see more Crash or Spyro in future? Let us know down below.

You never know even if this is true ,it could all change once Microsoft own them
This is one of the reasons why I believe Activision being bought by Microsoft will only benefit gamers, as is they only chase money of stuff like Warzone and Call of Duty. Under Microsoft I believe they'll be much more likely to explore their vast catalogue of IP
Yeah, the main thing I want post acquisition is these teams not being wasted on CoD.
This makes Jim Ryan smile.
For once.
every studios in activision become CoD slaves . i wish microsoft acquisition approved so they can continue make spyro, crash or maybe revive banjo
This is one of the reasons I'm okay with MS buying Activision.
There is no doubt Toys 4 Bob are fantastic devs, they completely nailed the remakes and then the new Crash, how dose activision reward this talent, making them a CoD slave.
Hopefully MS's interest in expanding gamepass offerings, means we'll see them return to making Spyro and Crash
As others have said I hope Microsoft gives these studios their freedom back. It has been stated in the past that Microsoft studios are given a little too much freedom.
Also, Raven need to stay away from Warzone. The game was at it's most fun and balanced before the Cold War integration when Raven took over from Infinity Ward
This is why MS needs to get ActivLizzard. Toys for Bob should be working on anything but Call of Duty.
The remaster team for Crash Trilogy and Crash Racing should be kept together. They really nailed the look of those games.
@Martsmall I very much doubt they'll change much apart from some good PR
I have a good feeling that when Microsoft can finally take control, they will correct this misuse of talent.
Microsoft will change this so it has been rumored to be and if they do that that alone hurts Sony in the pocket book by Microsoft making COD less of a yearly release and maybe go every 2 years. Which i think would be better for the series and for sure other games in the Activision portfolio.
Someone please inform Activision there's other genres of games outside of FPS
@Ashadelo You need to convince the dude-bro casuals and the kids that buy CoD, Madden, FIFA, and NBA2K every year. That scum is ruining gaming.
It's funny that on this very siote maybe 6 months ago they had a detailed report going over how Toys for Bob and Beenox both have already been fully dissolved with the studio lead not working their anymore. At the time they had been integrated with the Diablo 4 team before going over to CoD.
In that article the former members of Toys for Bob straight up stated that their was pretty much not possible to get the original TFB team back together sadly.
