'Scalebound', The Latest In PC And Xbox One Game Has Been Called Off, Set Back For All Gamers

After going through a massive development cycle, the PC and Xbox One game, "Scalebound" has been cancelled. Earlier there were rumors that the RPG "Scalebound" were facing jeopardy and unlikely to release soon.

As per a statement released by Microsoft, it has clearly mentioned that after a deliberate discussion, the company has decided to stop production of Scalebound.

However, according to Digital Trends, the tech giant, has also added that it will bring out a whole range of new games such as Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, Halo Wars 2 and more for the gamers and there's no reason for everyone to be disappointed.

The game had been in the works for over four years now and was being developed by a Japanese company, Platinum Games, who are well known for their action based games such as Vanquish and Bayonetta.

At the 2015 Gamescom, Hideki Kamiya, the "Scalebound" director had mentioned that the game which would include features like a four player gaming mode along with huge fighting modes, was the company's biggest game ever. As per The Verge, Scalebound was scheduled to make its appearance on both PC and Xbox One.

Earlier reports also suggest that the game was supposed to release in 2016. However, the release was pushed back to 2017. The game was first revealed at the E3 2014 and was believed to be a breakthrough for both Platinum Games and Hideki Kamiya. It had also made appearances in Gamescom 2015 and E3 2016.

Interestingly, after focusing on super stylish, action packed games, "Scalebound" was developed in keeping with high RPG elements in the mind. The development of the game was earlier dropped in 2006 failing to make the cut over Bayonetta.

Platinum Games had developed several high end and exciting games before concentrating on developing "Scalebound". In fact, after staying in the dark for over seven years, the game received its recognition and had entered the production stage only in 2013.
