This is a title of firsts for us at PlatinumGames: our first title on the Xbox One and our first title as a developer in partnership with Microsoft.

Our motto at PlatinumGames is to continue making games in Japan for gamers around the world. We are incredibly grateful for this excellent opportunity to work on a project with a publisher from the US, Microsoft, and we are very pleased to have made this announcement together.

I want gamers to know that PlatinumGames is taking on the challenge presented by the current generation and will use the full power of the Xbox One as a cutting-edge console. I promise that Scalebound will be a game that gives users around the world the ultimate in surprises and smiles.

We can’t show you very much yet, so please look forward to more information and the eventual release of the game!

Thank you very much for your continued support for PlatinumGames.

This is Hideki Kamiya, creative director at PlatinumGames.

The day has finally come that I can announce my new project to everyone.

I’ve created many original titles over the course of my career. Now I have a great opportunity to launch a new project with a new partner, and I’m excited to bring you a brand new game experience once again.

The focus of my new game is the gigantic beast that reigns over the fantasy genre: the dragon. Dragons have a unique power to capture the imagination, and I’ve loved dragons since I was a child. I’ve always wished that I could create a game featuring this magnificent creature; now the time has come for me to realize my dream.

I can’t share many details about the game yet, but rest assured that the development team and I are working around the clock so that we can show you more as soon as possible. For now, I ask that you let your imagination run wild while you wait.

I promise dragon fans around the world: this game will not disappoint. See you soon,

Hideki Kamiya (@pg_kamiya)
Director, Scalebound

Dragons have lived in our fantasies for centuries. They are a common thread that weave between cultures and eras, linking us together under wings and flame; fear and awe.

Scalebound is project that strives to live up to these ideals. A Japanese and American team working together to create the dragon game we’ve always dreamed of, but never gotten to play. Together, we can create something that pushes our team, and the action genre, to new heights.

Our team considers it an honor to take up this challenge. Knowing how many of us have wanted this game forever, I can’t imagine how many of you have wanted the same thing. It’s going to be a wild ride and we can’t wait to take it with you.

[Jamix012]

Looks interesting! Kamiya seems to be involved too.

 

[DaBoss]

That looked like Dante lol.

 

[zenosparadox]

Commence port begging!

 

[Sandfox]

It looks like the rumors were true.

 

[XanaviF30]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[FrankCaron]

Platinum Monster Hunter. Damn. Last chance for Japan presence?

 

[Brites]

I feel like it should be weirder...

 

[Shiina]

If only we got to see even a second of gameplay

 

[alba]

The "don't sue us Capcom" but it's Dante kindoff. I like the concept with the monster controlling thing.

 

[Pappasman]

Yay new Platinum game!

BOOO no gameplay. it doesn't really look like a platinum game in art style. weird.

 

[Papytendo]

RIP GAF

 

[Permanently A]

P+ MonHun. I'm ready.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Honestly wasn't very impressed.

 

[Vanille]

Art direction is gross.

 

[kadotsu]

I hope it isn't hunting action and I'm looking forward to the people that hated "Donte" to square this circle.

 

[KingSnake]

Looks very interesting. First time that I'm interested in Xbone.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

aww snap

 

[Revolutionary]

Commence port begging!

Port begging for a CG trailer? C'mon.

 

[Skilletor]

I believe in CBOAT.

I hope it isn't hunting action and I'm looking forward to the people that hated "Donte" to square this circle.

People would have loved "Donte" in a game made by Kamiya because then it wouldn't have been watered down trash DMC.

 

[Clefargle]

Bayonetta 2: 2: Electric Dragaloo

 

[Authority]

That looked like Dante lol.

I was like "Please don't be Dante.".

 

[Adaren]

That looked like Dante lol.

My first thought was definitely DmC2 set in a jungle.

That wink though. <3

 

[Stumpokapow]

Platinum Monster Hunter. Damn. Last chance for Japan presence?

Reminded me of sort of Monster Hunter meets Lost Planet 2, done by Kamiya.

 

[Soriku]

Was that Rathalos and the Dragon's Dogma hydra?

 

[T.O.P]

BOOM

 

[V_Arnold]

Okay, Xbox, take my soul.
My body is ready

 

[Team Top Hat]

Early...but...meh =/

 

[Hindl]

Yah I'm seeing Dante haha. Didn't look like what I was expecting from a Platinum Game, but we'll see how it turns out. Looks pretty cool from that small peek

 

[ZoddGutts]

Honestly wasn't very impressed.

Just CGI they showed. meh

 

[ragon]

the new Dante

 

[Squalor]

Commence port begging!

No thank you.

Microsoft can keep that.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Disappointed with the CG reveal. I wonder if it's by the Anarchy Reigns team, as it looks like the game will have multiplayer elements.

 

[Village]

Art direction is gross.

For the protagonist. Yah dude looked weird. The dragons were cool.

But then again, dragons. That isn't that hard.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

First Xbox One game I might care about, I want to see some gameplay!

 

[kuppy]

Unbelievable this actually is a thing.
Seems really cool, Platinum man!

 

[fvng]

Looks great. Not enough to justify purchasing a second console tho, even though it's a platinum game

 

[Dirk Benedict]

I think a bunch of GAF had this one pegged.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Dragon May Cry

 

[Jaruru]

P+ MonHun. I'm ready.

yea that's what I thought. looking good

 

[HGStormy]

Reminds me of young Dante.

Looks fucking bizarre honestly.

Reminds of that old Dragonflys cartoon

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Monster hunting game with potential hyper action game mechanics?

Sure!

 

[T.O.P]

In Platinum i trust

 

[Aureon]

DRAGOOOOOONS
There go my hopes of riding out the gen without buying an xbox one.

 

[Spongebob]

MS showed way too much CG

 

[Xpike]

Look amazing.
Xbox One bought.

 

[zewone]

Megaton? Art style was pretty unappealing.

 

[Sesha]

Dragon May Cry

Whatever it is, day 1

 

[MilesTeg]

Need gameplay.

 

[Ushiwaka]

Here we go.
