10 Unconfirmed Video Games We Know Are In Development
2. Scalebound
Chalk this one up as being one of the most unbelievable stories of the year. Scalebound - yes, the failed Microsoft/Platinum Games exclusive for Xbox One - is back in active development...but for the Nintendo Switch!
Scalebound was to be an open world RPG in which players assumed the role of Drew, a wise-cracking, DmC Dante rip-off, who rides dragons. It certainly had promise but it wasn't coming together at a time where Platinum Games was stretched ridiculously thin and churning out sub-par games. It was cancelled in January 2017 and never heard about since.
Well, until a few weeks ago when astonishing rumours surfaced that said it was being revived by Nintendo. The rumour came from Nintendo Insider, which coincided with Game Informer's Senior Editor Imran Khan's comments on Kinda Funny Games Daily the day prior that Nintendo was reviving a game that was "dead and buried".
Maybe this shouldn't come as a huge surprise based on Nintendo's close relationship with Platinum Games, but pretty much nobody ever expected to ever see Scalebound again.
