Scalebound cancelled

[ethomaz]

As you may have already heard, Scalebound has unfortunately been canceled. I'm very sorry to everyone who was looking forward to this game.

Sorry to bring you such bad news at the start of the year. All I can do for you is to promise to keep delivering fun games.

I'll work extra hard to never have to let you down like this again, so I hope you will keep watching over us in the future too.

Thanx for your lots of messages!!

And...I took time off for my mental health? ...Me!?

No way.

Regarding the Cancellation of Scalebound
2017.01.11
We're sorry to say that on January 9, 2017, Microsoft Studios announced the cancellation of Scalebound. We are very disappointed things ended up this way, especially since we know many of our fans were looking forward to this game as much as we were.

Going forward, we will strive to continue delivering high-quality games to you, starting with NieR:Automata in March, and including products like GRANBLUE FANTASY Project Re:Link and LOST ORDER in the future.

We will keep working hard to meet your expectations and we look forward to your continued support!

Scalebound, the much-hyped Platinum-developed action game that was previously scheduled for Xbox One and PC, is in trouble and may be cancelled, according to several sources.

Jason Schreier uh oh....

Wow Crackdown 3 I can easily see, but I didn't really think Scalebound was having problems.

Kitler was right!

Yeah I've been bad as of late with updating the insider batting average thread, but Schreier has a perfect track record. Scalebound might still survive but the dev issues should be taken as fact.

Yea, heard it's been canned. Super rough development, milestones missed, payments stopped. Kamiya stressed as hell.

Ouch....

Thats Shinobi...  

Basically have to take it as fact that it's cancelled.

I still find it hard to believe Microsoft passed on Bayonetta for this...

Yes I saw it, compared to Crackdown, which had nothing to show at all.

Wow it's canceled. Sony has been really frustrating with delays but if this is true, Microsoft will be remembered for canceling games this gen.

Project Knoxville
Phantom Dust
Fable Legends
Shangheist
Scalebound
Probably Crackdown 3 at this rate

Looks like Spencer will have a worst track record than Mattrick.
