Hideki Kamiya Is "100% Serious" About Reviving Cancelled Xbox Game Scalebound

Nearly a decade after Microsoft pulled the plug on Scalebound, legendary director Hideki Kamiya is making it clear he hasn't given up on the dragon-filled action game. The PlatinumGames project, which was cancelled by Xbox in January 2017, remains close to Kamiya's heart, and he has now gone on record saying he is "100% serious" about seeing it resurrected. Kamiya, the creative mind behind iconic titles such as Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, and Okami, still believes there is a genuine chance the game could one day come to life.

While no formal announcement or partnership has been confirmed, Kamiya's public enthusiasm signals that conversations or efforts around a revival may be quietly underway. Scalebound was originally positioned as a major Xbox exclusive, featuring cooperative dragon-riding gameplay and a signature PlatinumGames action flair. Its cancellation was a significant blow to fans and to PlatinumGames alike, making Kamiya's continued push to bring it back all the more noteworthy for the gaming community.
