Hideki Kamiya, director of Scalebound is sorry that Microsoft cancelled the game.

Hideki Kamiya, director of the now cancelled Xbox One Exclusive Scalebound,  has apologised to fans he feels have been let down by the game’s cancellation.
Kamiya who always uses Twitter had been quiet since late December. Today he broke that silence, after a Platinum Games blog post acknowledged this week’s bad news.

Kenichi Sato, Platinum boss had this to say:
“We’re sorry to say that on January 9, 2017, Microsoft Studios announced the cancellation of Scalebound. 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.
“Going forward, we will strive to continue delivering high-quality games to you, starting with NieR:Automata in March, and including products like Granblue Fantasy Project Re:Link and Lost Order in the future.
“We will keep working hard to meet your expectations and we look forward to your continued support!”
