ONE/PC Scalebound

1.) They have over 200 staff, presumably at least half of which were making Scalebound.
2.) Nier Automata is about to go gold, and Yoko Taro makes it sound like it's not going into sequel mode right away.
3.) Activision killed off their licensed game division, so that's not an option anymore.
4.) They have the Gran Blue Fantasy project and Lost Order, but I'm assuming that was going to take on Nier's staff given Kamiya wasn't attached to it.

Yea, heard it's been canned. Super rough development, milestones missed, payments stopped. Kamiya stressed as hell.

Schade, ich dachte, MS würde damit wieder etwas mehr die Japano-Richtung pushen. Ist aber grundsätzlich kein gutes Zeichen, wenn nach Fable Legends nun schon das zweite Exclusive außerhalb der Forza/Halo/Gears-Reihe eingestampft wird. Da muss Microsoft, gerade im Hinblick auf den Scorpio-Launch, spätestens zur E3 ein deutliches, frisches und neues Portfolio präsentieren.

Eh, MS is more at blame here than you'd think. But that story will be out in due time, don't worry.

Plus die weiteren Episoden von D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die

Damit ist von den abgefahrenen Ankündigungen Anfang der Gen eigentlich nichts mehr übrig. Man scheint eine komplett andere Richtung einzuschlagen.

Development of Xbox One exclusive Scalebound has ceased after more than four years.

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

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.
