Microsoft confirms Platinum Games’ Scalebound is canceled

Microsoft is starting 2017 by killing off a notable console exclusive.

Earlier today, Kotaku reported that the publisher had cancelled the action-role-playing game Scalebound. Microsoft has now confirmed  to the publication that the Platinum Games project slated for Xbox One and PC is no longer in development. Microsoft previously touted Scalebound as a big console exclusive (meaning it wasn’t coming out for its main competition, the PlayStation 4), often drawing attention to the fact that it was going to be the next game from Hideki Kamiya, who previously directed famous action hits like Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, and Bayonetta.
