We now have what may be the first delayed game announcement of the new year, the makers of Scalebound, the Xbox One exclusive were shooting for a holiday 2016 release, but it appears that they can already tell that’s just not going to happen. Platinum Games issued a statement announcing the delay:
“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.”
Platinum, best known for the Bayonetta series, has been working on the dragon-based game for Microsoft for a while now. The game had a pretty impressive showing at Gamescom this year where a player commands a dragon to attack enemies in concert with their own fighting, and the RPG could be an important new IP for the Xbox One, a console forever in search of new games to help try and gain ground on the PS4’s massive sales lead.
