To all those holding out hope that the canceled Scalebound will rise again, Phil Spencer has some bad news for you. Scalebound looked like a lot of interesting things packed into one package. It had the snark and action of games like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta, but it also seemed to be packing shooter elements and giant beasts that reminded us of games like Panzer Dragoon.
