Scalebound was an RPG being developed by acclaimed studio Platinum Games, which would have allowed players to form bonds with huge dragons. It was set to feature up to four-player co-op and was one of the few RPG exclusives that Microsoft have revealed for the coming year.

Microsoft released a statement concerning the title.

"After careful deliberation, Microsoft Studios has come to the decision to end production for Scalebound. We're working hard to deliver an amazing lineup of games to our fans this year, including Halo Wars 2, Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2, Sea of Thieves and other great experiences."

At least Xbox owners still have something to look forward to in 2017, then.
