Those hoping that one of the four titles Platinum Games are working on is the previously canned Scalebound are in for some disappointment.
But Platinum wants to do it
While the company would love the opportunity to resurrect and rework the title, the rights of the game are 100% with Microsoft. Here’s what Platinum Games studio head Atsushi Inaba said in an interview with Eurogamer Portugal.

Again, it’s a good question! But this was an intellectual property that belongs 100% to Microsoft. Whatever happens with this project, we can’t really do anything with it unless Microsoft leaves us. But it’s a game that we fall in love with and love. If the opportunity arises, it’s something we would love to return to.
