Hold onto your dragons, Xbox<\/a> fans! Rumors are swirling that the beloved and long-canceled game Scalebound may be making a comeback. Six years ago, Microsoft and Platinum Games’ collaboration was scrapped, leaving fans heartbroken. But now, according to Xbox leaker Nick “Shpeshal_Nick” Baker, the two companies are back in talks to revive the IP, although it’s still in the “very, very early” stages.<\/p>\n

For those who may not remember, Scalebound was first announced at E3 2014 as an action RPG set in the fantasy world of Draconis. The game was slated for release in 2017 as a PC and Xbox title but was eventually scrapped in January of that year. Scalebound was anticipated to be played from a third-person perspective, in which players assumed the role of Drew and his dragon companion Thuban, who they could control in first-person.<\/p>\n

Scalebound was ahead of its time and considered a new experience for Xbox gamers, drawing heavy inspiration from ARPGs like Sorcerian and Dragon Quest. However, it was a highly ambitious project, and subsequently posed a massive challenge that the development studio Platinum Games could not overcome. As a result, the project was shelved for reasons that were never specified.<\/p>\n
