Scalebound Director Urges Xbox CEO Asha Sharma to Revive Canceled Game

The appeal highlights that Xbox is believed to still own the Scalebound intellectual property so a decision by Sharma would determine whether the project can be restarted

Overview

  • Hideki Kamiya publicly renewed his call for a Scalebound revival on Friday by asking new Xbox chief Asha Sharma to “make it happen.”
  • Kamiya told reporters he has not directly contacted Sharma and Xbox has made no public plans to restart the project.
  • Kamiya said Clovers CEO Kento Koyama and several former Scalebound developers are willing to return and recently reunited for a dinner where the project came up.
  • Scalebound was delayed and canceled by Microsoft in 2017 after reported development problems that were never fully explained, and existing footage keeps fan interest alive.
  • Because reporting indicates Microsoft is still believed to own the Scalebound IP, a company decision under Sharma could enable a formal revival but technical feasibility and Xbox priorities make any comeback uncertain
