Scalebound Archives

Microsoft and PlatinumGames announced a partnership in 2014 to release an ambitious action game called Scalebound which would be released on Xbox One and Windows PC The game was in development at PlatinumGames until its cancellation was announced by Microsoft in 2017. As Microsoft announced the cancellation, fans were quick to lay the blame on the massive[...]

But if you're not doing anything with it, what's the purpose? That's what we find ourselves asking today as Microsoft renewed its hold over the Scalebound trademark, despite killing the game off in January. To be clear: there was no activity on the game's website since October 2016, and the game officially was canceled by Microsoft[...]

Microsoft today renewed their trademark on the title "Scalebound" despite cancelling the game back in January, as well as removing any previous mention of it from Microsoft's many web outlets The trademark renewal was spotted by Twitter user y2konya, even though Microsoft were in no danger of losing their trademark registration. Microsoft es propietaria de la[...]

I suppose we might not ever know what happened to Scalebound truely There is a lot of word of development being stressed and the game running behind schedule quite seriously However, who, how or why that is will likely just be for fan and pundit speculation, barring any developers talking anonymously, a la Phantom Dust. For[...]

Scalebound always looked cool Dragons and beats headphones ended up being a really cool concept despite itself, and the gameplay that had been shown off looked really rad and an asset to Xbox One. Sadly, it looks like the game isn't going to be. Kotaku reported it initially, only to be re-verified by Eurogamer, who are reporting that[...]

I didn't expect to see Scalebound this year at E3, but hey I'm not complaining. We just got a look at Scalebound co-op in the game, with many against one massive boss "The biggest boss fight Platinum have ever mad according to director Hideki Kamiya It really looks huge as well The co-op dragon function could[...]

Scalebound was delayed right at the start of this year, pushing the Xbox One exclusive out of 2016 Why did that happen? Well, one reason was that it could use more development time, but Xbox's senior marketing director Aaron Greenberg, has also claimed in an interview with IGN, that Scalebound would have struggled to find breathing space in[...]

Scalebound is really something different and neat for an Xbox One exclusive First off, it's a console exclusive from a Japanese developer, and secondly, it doesn't 'feel' like an Xbox game That's exciting. Last time we saw it at Gamescom though, the game certainly seemed to have some performance issues Perhaps it is unsurprising then that[...]

Scalebound really has me, as an idea The concept of running around with your own dragon pal, as you hack and slash your way through enemies sounds really neat The Ganescom footage didn't half capture my imagination either. At one point in the game's development, things did look much different though In an interview with Gamespot, director[...]

Last week were were treated to our first looks at Crackdown 3 and Scalebound at Gamescom, which are both Xbox One exclusives coming next year They fill out what is looking like an impressive year for the console in 2016, and should do a lot to keep the current Xbox One growth going. Xbox Boss Phil Spencer[...]

I didn't really know what to make of Scalebound after it was debuted at E3 The dragon, Beats headphone hybrid was a bit of a mystery, except I knew it was coming from Platinum Games, so I was excited for it. No longer though At Microsoft's Gamescom conference, we caught the first look at gameplay, and[...]

We are set to see Scalebound at GamesCom in just a few short weeks The game was revealed at E3 2014, showing off dragons, guys in hoodies and some stylish headphones The title from Platinum games seems to be quite a clash of ideas, but I'm intrigued Just seeing the developer, who lean towards Japanese[...]

A couple of days ago, we heard that Quantum Break was going to be skipping E3 in favour of Gamescom this year, leaving the door open for more content at E3. It seems Microsoft have a lot of games to show too, because Phil Spencer has stated that Platinum Games's Beats headphone dragon slayer game, Scalebound,[...]

Having alienated the community they so famously supported with the 360, it was clear that they were open for business again and E3 was the best place to reassert this. We also saw Inside, haunting gameplay moments from the creators of Limbo, the trailer of Rise of the Tomb Raider, which promised some interesting story elements[...]
