Platinum offers statement on Scalebound: "fans were looking forward to this game as much as we were"

Scalebound's cancellation came as a shock to many, a sudden surprise that few saw coming. Mere hours after rumors began circulating, Microsoft confirmed the news, and today, Platinum has offered its own statement. As you can imagine, it's not particularly cheery.

"We’re sorry to say that on January 9, 2017, Microsoft Studios announced the cancellation of Scalebound," the studio wrote on its blog. "We are very disappointed things ended up this way, especially since we know many of our fans were looking forward to this game as much as we were."

"We will keep working hard to meet your expectations," Platinum continued, "and we look forward to your continued support!"
