Topic: Scalebound = cancelled

[MysterD]

Eurogamer - Microsoft announces the cancellation of Platinum's upcoming game Scalebound, which been in the works for 4 years.

Yep.  Was sort of intrigued by it, though I never got a clear sense of what the final product would have been.  Another one bites the dust for Microsoft.

Reports had generally been pretty bad about it, so I can't say this seems entirely unexpected. Though I did assume they would just ship it and it wouldn't be very good, rather than it actually getting canceled. I feel bad for Kamiya, but this one is probably better off in the ground.

Damn, I was kinda looking forward to it. The prospect sounded quite ambitious.

Destructoid - Platinum Games responds to Scalebound's cancellation.

Good ol Kamiya. Looking forward to seeing what else they get after now that this is done.

Destructoid - Microsoft renews Scalebound trademark + rumors begin to fly.

So, Microsoft renewed Scalebound trademark.

Will they salvage what they had w/ Platinum Games?
Will Platinum finish it? Or will they (Microsoft) have another team finish it?

Or will they (Microsoft) have some other company restart + re-do the game entirely from scratch?
