A
new
leak
suggests
that
the
long-awaited
and
hoped-for
Spyro
the
Dragon
4
is
actively
in
development
at
Toys
for
Bob.

Grab
the
salt
though,
because
the
source
isn’t
the
most
reliable.
Youtuber
Canadian
Guy
Eh
runs
a
channel
focused
on
Spyro,
Crash
Bandicoot
and
other
classic
platformers.
Over
the
years
he
has
made
claims
that
have
turned
out
to
be
true,
and
others
that
have
not.
Of
course,
that’s
true
of
all
leaks
and
leakers:
information
changes,
and
just
because
you
learned
something
one
day
doesn’t
mean
plans
won’t
have
changed
a
week
later.

According
to
Canadian
Guy
Eh,
he
spoke
to
multiple
multiple
sources
at
PAX
East
who
all
confirmed
that
Toys
for
Bob
is
working
on
a
brand
new
Spyro
the
Dragon.

“Spyro
4
is
in
development.
That’s
a
statement.
No
theory
crafting,
no
evidence-based
assumptions,
no
conspiracies,
or
even
a
heavy-handed
hint,”
he
said
in
his
video.

In
the
video
he
also
confirms
that
there
is
a
catch:
the
new
game
only
entered
development
at
the
beginning
of
this
year,
meaning
it’s
probably
years
away
from
being
released.

Apparently,
Canadian
Guy
Eh
has
known
about
Spyro
4
for
a
little
while
but
sources
were
careful
about
what
they
were
saying.
However,
the
recent
news
of
Toys
for
Bob
leaving
Microsoft
to
become
independent
has
loosened
up
some
tongues.

“During
all
of
this
wave
of
news
since
the
start
of
2024,
I
have
been
speaking
privately
with
many,
many
different
people
within
the
industry.
In
those
conversations,
I
have
been
hearing
whispers
of
a
brand
new
Spyro
being
in
development.
But
nothing
was
concrete.
There
wasn’t
enough
for
me
to
conclusively
say
that
something
was
legitimately
in
development,
and
no
one
was
willing
to
go
on
record
to
state
this
anonymously.”
said
Canadian
Guy
Eh.

It
was
when
he
travelled
to
PAX
East
that
Canadian
Guy
Eh
finally
got
more
concrete
statements.
He
managed
to
corroborate
what
he
had
heard
with
other
developers
who
had
heard
exactly
the
same
things.

When
news
hit
that
Toys
for
Bob
were
packing
up
their
toys
and
heading
out
on
their
own,
Jez
Corden
of
Windows
Central,
a
typically
reliable
source,
said
that
the
company
had
reached
an
agreement
with
Microsoft
to
work
on
a
Microsoft-owned
IP.
Microsoft,
of
course,
now
owns
the
Spyro
IP.

Toys
for
Bob
also
made
reference
to
fans,
“keeping
their
horns
on”
in
their
statement,
which
could
be
nothing
more
than
a
fun
nod
to
the
series
but
could
also
have
been
a
little
hint.

Canadian
Guy
Eh
states
in
his
video
that
it
was
Jez
Corden’s
report
that
made
him
confident
enough
to
publish
his
own
video.

“I’m
not
here
to
fact-check
Jez.
Heck,
I’m
not
even
here
to
report
on
what
Jez
just
said.
I
am
here
to
confirm
that
Jez
is
100%
right
as
I
heard
everything
that
he
said
in
this
article
and
then
some
before
it
was
published,
both
while
being
at
PAX
East
and
from
previous
private
conversations
that
I
mentioned
at
the
start
of
this
video.”
said
Canadian
Guy
Eh.

He
returned
to
PAX
East
the
day
after
Jez’s
report
went
live
and
talked
once
again
to
the
developers
and
content
creators
he
had
chatted
with
the
day
prior.
One
in
particular
who
was
apprehensive
to
open
up
about
what
they
had
heard
was
now
more
confident
and
provided
further
details,
all
because
of
Jez’s
report.

“So,
without
further
ado,
I
can
confirm
this
statement:
as
of
March
2024,
Spyro
4
is
currently
in
development.
It
is
being
handled
by
Toys
for
Bob
and
development
started
in
and
around
January
2024.”
said
Canadian
Guy
Eh.

He
also
noted
that
due
to
their
new-found
independence,
Toys
for
Bob
can
work
directly
with
Microsoft
rather
than
dealing
with
“Activision
bureaucracy
and
without
the
risk
of
being
shifted
onto
other
larger
Activision
projects
at
the
expense
of
their
own.”

Toys
for
Bob
previously
created
the
fantastic

Spyro
the
Dragon:
Reignited
Trilogy
which
sold
over
10m
copies.
