It’s been two and a half years since the world first got a glimpse of Scalebound , a game filled with dragons and adventures, promising “epic battles on an unbelievable scale”. After its announcement at E3 2014, its developer, Platinum Games, showed off an early gameplay demo at Gamescom 2015.
However, its development clearly didn’t go entirely to plan. A year ago, in January 2016, Platinum revealed that the game had been delayed until 2017 , “in order to deliver on our ambitious vision and ensure that Scalebound lives up to expectations”. But even at E3 2016, Microsoft was touting Scalebound as part of its 2017 gaming line-up , even celebrating its support for the Xbox Play Anywhere program.
A firm release date was never announced – but after four years in development, it seems that its launch day may never come, as Microsoft Studios announced that it has dropped its support for the title, which was destined to be exclusive to the Xbox One and Windows 10.
