Xbox One shock: Huge announcement made regarding 2016 plans

XBOX ONE gamers have been left disappointed following an announcement regarding upcoming title Scalebound.

 

Scalebound has been delayed until 2017

 

The action-RPG from PlatinumGames and Microsoft was expected to be released in 2016, but has instead been pushed back another year in order to publish the game as intended.

Scalebound sees players assume to role of Drew, who is able to issue commands to and fight alongside a dragon called Thuban.

The game has been in development since 2013, but Xbox One owners hoping to try out Scalebound later this year will now have to wait until 2017.

It's the game our team has always dreamed of making.

"In order to deliver on our ambitious vision and ensure that Scalebound lives up to expectations, we will be launching the game in 2017.
