Hideki Kamiya Expresses Desire to Revive Canceled RPG Scalebound

The former PlatinumGames director calls on Xbox's Phil Spencer to revisit the ill-fated project nearly a decade after its cancellation.

Scalebound, an action RPG featuring dragons and a modern protagonist, was canceled in 2017 due to technical challenges and inexperience with online features.
Hideki Kamiya, now leading CLOVERS Inc., shared a video of him reminiscing about the game and expressed his wish to develop it again.
Kamiya directly addressed Xbox head Phil Spencer on social media, saying, 'Let's do it, Phil,' reigniting fan interest in the project.
Microsoft still owns the Scalebound IP, and any potential revival would require their approval, though there is no indication of active discussions.
CLOVERS Inc. is currently focused on developing a sequel to Okami, suggesting that any potential Scalebound revival would face significant logistical hurdles.
