Udviklingen af Scalebound er stoppet

Scalebound så første gang dagens lys til E3 i 2014, med en lancering planlagt i fjerde kvartal af 2016. Denne lancering blev efterfølgende skubbet til 2017. Udviklerne fra PlatinumGames begrundede dengang udskydelsen med, at de ville levere et spil der levede op til forventningerne.

In order to deliver on our ambitious vision and ensure that Scalebound lives up to expectations, we will be launching the game in 2017. This will give us the time needed to bring to life all the innovative features and thrilling gameplay experiences that we have planned.

Nu er spillet som nævnt, så blevet aflyst helt og den officielle udmelding fra Microsoft Studios omkring årsagen, lyder således:

Today, I have a difficult annoucement to share that affects our fans, Microsoft Studios team and valued partner. After Careful deliberation, we have come to the decision to end production for Scalebound. This decision was not made lightly.
At Microsoft , we remain committed to making Xbox and Windows 10 the best places to play games, and look forward to bringing ”Halo Wars 2”, ”Crackdown 3”, ”State of Decay 2”, ”Sea of Thieves” and other great experiences to our fans.
