Here's my opinion on it. If true, which it's very ell possible. Just by looking at the development, an Shinobi's excellent track record. This is bad news for MS, no spinning it. While the game has looked worse to me, every time they have showed it, this doesn't bode very well for them at all. This is why MS need to invest more in first party as well. 3rd game cancelled now?

seems like its canned.

Shinobi: Yea, heard it's been canned. Super rough development, milestones missed, payments stopped. Kamiya stressed as hell.

Scalebound, the much-hyped Platinum-developed action game that was previously scheduled for Xbox One and PC, is in trouble and may be cancelled, according to several sources.

We expect the official announcement shortly. When reached by Kotaku today, Microsoft sent over a brief statement: “We’ll have more to share on ‘Scalebound’ soon.”

From what we hear, Scalebound, an ambitious game directed by iconic Twitter blocker and Bayonetta director Hideki Kamiya, had been in development hell for a long time. Microsoft first announced the game nearly three years ago, during the Xbox press conference at E3 2014. It rose to the top of dozens of “Most Anticipated Games” lists but was delayed several times.

We hadn’t heard or seen anything of Scalebound in recent months, and it was curiously missing from an Xbox Wire post last week that talked about the future of Xbox One. Microsoft has also removed the official Scalebound page from the Xbox website.

Say it aint so.

Xbox right now: 

I guess thats it for me, Xbox offers nothing to me and this was the only game I was interested in.

Reece hack my account and make this OP look good, I can't do it.

Goddamit.That was THE game that got me interested in the XOne.Hopefully thats not true, and if it is, hopefully someone picks it up.I dont know, Microsoft could sell the rights.It looked so damn epic.

Kotaku: "Is Scalebound canceled?"

Kamiya: "Ask your mom."
