Shovel Knight XB1 Retail Release Cancelled Due To "Publishing Policies" - NeoGAF

Quote
/ This was assumed to be coming after retail listings for XB1 versions of the retail release were removed and orders cancelled but this was the first time we got confirmation.

With extremely heavy hearts, we're sad to announce there will not be an Xbox One physical version this holiday. We really gave it our best effort, but unfortunately, because of publishing policies on that platform that are totally beyond our control, we couldn't make it happen. We're very sorry…we know there is a lot of interest - the pre-orders were really good and we thank everyone for their support! We'll keep fighting to get a retail version on Xbox One, but as of now, the boxed version is in indefinite  limbo. The digital version of Shovel Knight on Xbox One is already available and will, of course, continue to receive new updates and our full support!

 
Certainly disappointing to see. Perhaps this was an issue with the minimum quantities of discs orderable from Microsoft?
