MICROSOFT CONFIRMS SCALEBOUND IS CANCELLED

 

As rumors earlier today suggested, Microsoft has confirmed to IGN that development on Scalebound has ceased.

 

A Microsoft representative provided the following statement to IGN:

 

“After careful deliberation, Microsoft Studios has come to the decision to end production for Scalebound. We’re working hard to deliver an amazing lineup of games to our fans this year, including Halo Wars 2, Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2, Sea of Thieves and other great experiences.”

 

Microsoft further pointed to a recent post on its official site about its additional plans for 2017.

 

When asked if the Scalebound IP is owned by Microsoft or by developer Platinum, a Microsoft spokesperson simply said "we do not comment on the details of our business agreements with partners," and provided no additional comment when asked if Microsoft will seek to work with Platinum on a separate project in the future.

 

Scalebound was originally announced at E3 2014 and planned for a holiday 2016 release. Shortly before last year’s E3, Platinum delayed the game to 2017 “in order to deliver on our ambitious vision and ensure that Scalebound lives up to expectations.”

Eurogamer's report:

Multiple sources have confirmed to Eurogamer that Microsoft and developer Platinum Games have parted ways on the project, and that work concluded before the end of 2016...

 

Scalebound was last seen in public back at Gamescom 2016 in August. Since then, the relationship between Microsoft and Osaka-based developer Platinum Games dramatically soured.

 

Work on the game took a serious knock last autumn, Eurogamer sources say, when several senior members of the development team were forced to take a month away from the pressure of the project's heavy workload.

 

These project members then returned, but Scalebound was now behind schedule. With continuing issues surrounding the game's engine and overdue deadlines, the decision was made that the project could no longer continue.

 

It's unclear whether Scalebound could still be revived by Platinum, but as we understand it, work on the project as we know it has now concluded. Eurogamer has asked Microsoft for comment...

devai ten kazka sumale, pailset matyt norejo ar kazka. na o po to jau MS ir devu keliai issiskyre. ir siaip kure kure jau ilgai , matyt niekaip neuzbaige iki galo. 

pagal Spenceri tai bus geriau xbox zaidejams. 

Phil Spencer has provided his comment from his official Twitter account, detailing what he believes and thinks about the Xbox One/Windows 10 exclusive canceled in the last few hours surprising and disappointing lots of Xbox fans around the world. He said canceling Scalebound was definitely a "difficult decision".

 

But "we believe the result is better 4 Xbox gamers, still disappointing. I'm confident in 17 lineup that's our focus," he added, somehow confirming Scalebound was in a disappointing status and keep pushing on it, in the face of quality, could have lead to an even more difficult situation when it'd be released in one year or two.

We're all disappointed and hope one way or another Platinum Games manages to return to the project, or at least not suffer from it being canceled. But Microsoft has all the rights to make the similar decision as publisher, and hopefully they decide after further deliberation that the game as it actually was would have been way worse than expected.

 

bet jis pilnas tikejimo kitais 17 ju ruosiamu zaidimu. 

realiai niekas cia nezino kas ir kaip. bet nemanau kad MS butu nukanceline gera zaidima jei jis butu uzbaigtas pilnai ir paruostas. kad ir kaip ten buvo cia jau tik devai patys ir MS zino.
