In the early days of the Xbox One generation, the partnership between Xbox and PlatinumGames was met with great excitement among fans. The announcement of Scalebound, a dragon-riding fantasy action-RPG, generated significant anticipation. PlatinumGames, celebrated for titles like Bayonetta, Vanquish, and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, seemed like the ideal candidate to deliver a compelling dragon-centric gaming experience. Unfortunately, the project was canceled by Xbox in early 2017, leading to reported strains in their relationship. Despite recent rumors of PlatinumGames’ Vice President Hideki Kamiya expressing a desire to mend relations with Xbox and potentially revive Scalebound, no official confirmation has been made public.
