Platinum Games will bring Scalebound exclusively to the Xbox One

Platinum Games loves their big action. Platinum’s core team began within the hallways of Capcom and produced some of the biggest action games around including the original Devil May Cry. After breaking away to form Clover, the team went on to create Viewtiful Joe and, as Platinum, Bayonetta and MadWorld. Their latest game, Scalebound, is their first partnership with Microsoft, but the E3 trailer showcases the big action Platinum is known for.

The next great adventure from critically-acclaimed developer Platinum Games and renowned Game Director Hideki Kamiya, Scalebound transports you to a distant, hostile world. You’ll come face to face with fearsome creatures, including a formidable dragon—and the bond you forge with this awesome predator will prove crucial to the survival of both worlds.

Check out the hydra dragon at the end for a taste of the large-scale dragon-versus-dragon battles that Platinum has planned for Scalebound. There’s no release date yet, but Scalebound should be available for the Xbox One sometime in 2015.

Microsoft got busy closing our their 2014 E3 Press Conference by announcing an absolute ton of indie games and a few bigger titles that will surely attract those who gravitate towards the quirkier side of gaming.

Crackdown 3 (referred to as just “Crackdown” on stage) will bring its open-world/co-op gameplay to the Xbox One with David Jones, creator of the original Crackdown, overseeing development.

Phantom Dust 2 (again, just referred to as “Phantom Dust”) is an Xbox One follow-up to a cult favorite Xbox game from 2004. Multiplayer card-based battling and an insane sci-fi story will do that.

Finally, Platinum Games will bring Scalebound to the Xbox One. Giant dragons, big action, and it’s the first non-Nintendo Platinum Games game in a long time. Nintendo fans might be bummed, but those who bypassed the Wii U (and love Platinum) are surely thrilled.

All three titles will likely be released for the Xbox One in 2015.
