Microsoft and Platinum’s collaboration is officialy over as the company confirms it halted the development of Scalebound.
Earlier today Kotaku reported on rumors that Scalebound was canceled with other reliable sources following soon afterward. Eurogamer goes into deeper detail as supposed to what went down behind the scenes. Development problems supposedly got so severe that a lot of the staff including the game’s director, Kamiya had to take time off due to health issues.
I’m personally bummed out after hearing this news since I’m a big Platinum and Kamiya fan. A lot of people said the game looked bad and while I didn’t really see that I certainly know where that train of thought came from. Let’s just hope this doesn’t have a severe impact for the studio itself.
