Krome Studios, the developer behind the Ty the Tasmanian Tiger franchise, has announced that it has a brand new project lined up for the Switch. Not much info has been provided as of yet, as the project has pretty much just hit the ground running, but the studio has confirmed that it is not related to Ty the Tasmanian Tiger.
Here's the announcement itself from a developer post:
There IS something big brewing for next year. The ink is fresh on the page. The project is just kicking off. Here's what we can share. It's not a TY the Tasmanian Tiger game.
We're excited that we've signed a new project, for a new Nintendo Switch game, and we look forward to the day in the distant future when it is named and fully announced.
In summary, Krome Studios is working on a new release for Nintendo Switch from our own catalog. We also have a brand new Nintendo Switch project now in development with a great publishing partner.
So there you have it! It sounds like it may be quite a while before we find out exactly what this new project entails; the words 'distant future' certainly suggests that the studio will likely be going quiet for at least the remainder of 2022.

Well, new 3D platformer for multi consoles and must have PS5 version so I can increase my PS5 games library.
I liked the first TY the Tiger, but the second one got a bit samey
So it looks like they have two projects:
1 "new release for Switch from our own catalog"... to me that means an existing game, but new for Switch... Maybe one of their Star Wars Clone Wars games remastered like they did with Force Unleashed? Or perhaps Legend of Spyro?
2 is the entirely new game. Wonder who the publisher is.
Wouldn't mind a new Ty game, it would be nice seeing another underrated 3D platformer series make a return after Kao.
Betting Ty 3.
But h9nestly I just want Ty 2 on a damn cartridge.
@korosanbo @coolmusic @paraka "It's not a TY the Tasmanian Tiger game." is literally said in the article
Can't wait to see what it is.
I know they specify this isn't a project related to Ty, but like we already know they are indeed working on something for the franchise's 20th anniversary this year.

@theneslink: I know, I read the article. I simply said that I wouldn't mind one in the future.
In the newsletter, they also teased a new Ty project of some sorts.
"A totally new TY the Tasmanian Tiger game would be great, but we'd need at least 10x all stats to date. However, we do tinker with totally new bits. (see the February video, see the Doomeranger comics)"
For 2022, we're confident we can get another TY the Tasmanian Tiger game out for Nintendo Switch while we continue to tangle with other commitments and occasional challenges. What is it?! We're not ready to tell yet. No, it's not TY3.
Will we do a Kickstarter for it? Yeah-naw, we don't think we'll be doing a Kickstarter for it. (We'd really quite prefer to complete our commitments to the TY2HD Kickstarter backers first, you know?)"
