Is Microsoft's Scalebound getting Delayed or Canceled? Maybe? [UPDATE]

Update: According to IGN, the game is in fact canceled. Wishful thinking for a delay was too hopeful it seems. Here’s hoping the studios can bounce back and recover

If you haven’t heard, or don’t remember, Scalebound was the game where you play some sort of angsty looking millennial who’s inspired both by old and new Dante from Devil May Cry mixed in with a dragon arm similar to Nero from the 4th DMC (old) series, that has a dragon companion that you somewhat command. Now, all jokes aside, the game seemed interesting to me – nothing special, but interesting. 


However, according to Kotaku, there have been rumors circulating that the game may be canceled. They reached out to Microsoft asking about the rumors to which the response was that Microsoft would be releasing Scalebound news soon.


From the footage that we’ve been given, to me, some seemed like genuine gameplay, while – of course – some footage being scripted specifically for the events it was being showcased at. However the game looked to be stable… though we’ve been fooled before *coughNOMANSSKYcough*, excuse me, when it comes to being showcased the quality and scope of a game.


Regardless, I’m more inclined that the game would delayed more so than canceled, but only time will tell.
