Hideki Kamiya, former Capcom and Platinum Games director, has expressed interest in reviving Scalebound, a canceled Xbox game he previously worked on. A recent video from his new studio, Clovers, showed Kamiya reminiscing about the project with his team. Kamiya discussed the game's mechanics, including its shooting elements, as well as its unique setting that features a protagonist wearing headphones and having a smartphone in a world filled with dragons. The concept bears resemblance to the isekai genre, popularized by games like Forspoken, where a character from the real world enters a fantasy realm. Kamiya's sentiments were confirmed when he retweeted a post from Xbox boss Phil Spencer, saying "Let's do it, Phil!" This suggests that there may be a renewed push to bring Scalebound back to life, potentially with Microsoft's support.
