Microsoft pulled out a shocker later today when they confirmed the cancellation of Platinum Games’, Scalebound. This is not the first time Microsoft did this, but it is very alarming to the gaming community.
Scalebound is one of the most hyped game for the past months and it so unfortunate that players won’t even see it. The reason behind the cancellation is the deteriorating health of Yusuke Miyata. The designer of the game tried his very best to adjust with his ongoing situation but he direly needs help.
Crackdown 3: To Be Released Amidst The Cancellation Of Scalebound
A lot of players believed that with the cancellation of Scalebound, Microsoft will shift their focus to one of their masterpiece, Crackdown 3. In a recent report, it was listed that Scalebound, Crackdown 3 and Project Scorpio should be released accordingly. Although a lot of fans are devastated with Scalebound’s cancellation, a lot of them are positive with Crackdown 3. The first person shooter game is one of the best in their lineup and this is the right time for them to release it.
Crackdown 3: Release Date and Other Games
Many speculations have started about the release date of Crackdown 3. However, there are no official words yet from its developers. Players are hoping that it will be release first quarter of the month but not later than next year. A recent thread in Reddit contains some information that backs up their claim. For now, the only thing that is clear is, Microsoft is looking for another game that will replace Scalebound.
Majority of Microsoft’s focus is on their 3 franchise games. Halo, Gears of War and Forza. These 3 games have already made a name on their own. The gaming community believes that Microsoft won’t gamble for the release of Crackdown 3, but who knows.
