Microsoft reportedly in “very early discussions” to bring back Scalebound

Scalebound is likely one of the biggest Xbox-exclusive games to be cancelled, with the partnership between the console manufacturer and development studio PlatinumGames falling apart in 2017 after the game had been in development for 4 years. From the embers rises a new fire however, as an insider is now claiming that Scalebound might actually be brought back.

Shpeshal Nick is one of the most active industry insiders currently, covering all manner of games and leaks, but with a particular focus on Microsoft/Xbox. During the most recent episode of the insider’s Xbox Era Podcast, Nick claimed that PlatinumGames and Microsoft are in very early talks to bring Scalebound back from the dead.

Very little is known about these discussions, with Nick unsure whether development would pick up where it was left off 6 years ago or whether the project would be started from scratch. Of course, discussions happen all the time and does not mean that the game is in the works – but it is interesting to see that the two parties are seemingly willing to give Scalebound a second shot.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
