Scalebound

With 2015 nearly over, Microsoft is gearing up for its next round of exclusives on Xbox One, particularly Platinum Games’ Scalebound. As per Aaron Greenberg while speaking to DualShockers, Scalebound presents an opportunity for to showcase the best that the Japanese developer has to offer.

“It’s another gift for us. If you think about what [game director Hideki Kamiya] has created, and his history of just creating incredibly unique games, that are such high quality and that are loved by core gamers…To be able to have him making a new IP exclusive for us and a big title, I think it’s something we’re really excited about.

“We think of it as an action RPG game, and we think it will both appeal to fans of the games that Platinum has made, but at the same time, I think it will be a game that will have a broader appeal to folks that maybe haven’t played their games before. So we’re excited to be able to introduce that to a broader audience as well.”

Scalebound is due to release on Xbox One in Holidays 2016. Are you looking forward to it? Let us know in the comments.
