Alanah Pearce is also saying the same thing(Ex IGN journalist)

Apparently MS didn't renew the copyright which means the Scalebound name can be used, this would be interesting because MS forced changes on the project to the point it ended up very different to its original visi this ironically means that if true they could just make the game as they originally intended and it wouldn't infringe on the trademark MS hold.

Edit: It seems the trademark has been abandoned by MS.

Yeah, that really took away from the game.

That would be crazy, and would also mean that Platinum is working on three different Switch games.

That cant be real.... poor Xbox.

^ So much that.

Drop the forced multiplayer aspect that was giveing them issues, and just make a kickarse single player rpg.

MS forced them into makeing it co-op multiplayer focused really late in the developement cycle, and was one of the issues  that put them behinde in developement. Then MS cut funding, when they complained.

Id love to see it just turn out as a awesome single player game, exclusive to Switch that does well.
Maybe put it on Playstation 4 too? Just leave it off the xbox platform to spite them.

Even if this rumor turns out to be a load of bull, between this, Astral Chain, and Bayonetta 3, Nintendo might as well just buy Platinum at this point.

Why not? RT @Jonwoltke: If Nin funds it, would you be able to develop something like Scalebound for the Wii U?

Interesting...

MS owns the copyright. I would like to see a scalebound inspired game though,

The trademark was apparently abandoned.
