Platinum Games has posted an update on the development of their exclusive Xbox One roleplaying game Scalebound. The development team has decided to delay the title until an unspecified time in 2017. Platinum says that the extra time will allow them to implement new features and achieve their ambitious vision without compromise. Up until now it was expected that the game would launch sometime this year.
Scalebound was originally unveiled at E3 2014 during Microsoft’s press conference. The game focuses on protagonist Drew who must venture through the massive world of Draconis where dragons roam and 20% of the world is covered in a mysterious Pulse energy. The idea for Scalebound began taking form sometime during the development of Bayonetta but the technology available at the time did not allow for Platinum to realize their vision.
