Announcement from Microsoft coming soon.
Scalebound is reportedly in trouble and may be canceled.
Kotaku has heard from “several sources” that the action title from developer PlatinumGames has been in development trouble for quite a while and may ultimately be scrapped.
An official announcement regarding the game’s status is expected to be made in the near future, as Microsoft provided Kotaku with the following statement: “We’ll have more to share on Scalebound soon.”
Scalebound was announced at E3 2014 as an Xbox One exclusive. During Microsoft’s press conference at last year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, it was revealed that Scalebound would also release on PC as part of the Xbox Play Anywhere initiative.
While the game was originally slated to release in 2016, Platinum delayed the project to 2017 last January, saying that development on Scalebound was going to require a bit more time.
