Scalebound Devs Platinum Games open up a little about the game's cancellation

When Microsoft formerly cancelled Scalebound earlier this week, everyone was stunned. Now, a few days later, we're finally hearing from Platinum Games about their feelings on the situation. Of course, everybody's still tight lipped about what actually happened, but President and CEO Kenichi Sato spoke out about his own disappointment in a post released this to Platinum Games official blog site. 

We’re sorry to say that on January 9, 2017, Microsoft Studios announced the cancellation of Scalebound. We are very disappointed things ended up this way, especially since we know many of our fans were looking forward to this game as much as we were.

Going forward, we will strive to continue delivering high-quality games to you, starting with NieR:Automata in March, and including products like GRANBLUE FANTASY Project Re:Link and LOST ORDER in the future.

We will keep working hard to meet your expectations and we look forward to your continued support!

Game Director Hideki Kamiya spoke his piece on Twitter to show his disappointment (and also squished a rumor). 

Sorry to bring you such bad news at the start of the year. All I can do for you is to promise to keep delivering fun games.

I'll work extra hard to never have to let you down like this again, so I hope you will keep watching over us in the future too.

And...I took time off for my mental health? ...Me!?

No way.

I thought I would get lots of savage messages, but in reality I'm getting lots of warm messages. Thank you.

It sounds like, though this was a disappointment, the team at Platinum isn't letting this stop them, so we can still look forward to NieR: Automata on PC and PlayStation 4 in March.
