In order to deliver on our ambitious vision and ensure that Scalebound lives up to expectations, we will be launching the game in 2017. This will give us the time needed to bring to life all the innovative features and thrilling gameplay experiences that we have planned.

sangreal · Jan 4, 2016

That's probably a good thing, though I expected it more from ReCore

Yurikerr · Jan 4, 2016

Let the delays begin!

Well, someone had to be the first. Bets on which month Horizon gets pushed back?

DKHF · Jan 4, 2016

This is for the best because as others have said releasing a new IP in the holidays is very tough (the game was scheduled for Q4). It will do better in March or something.

glaurung · Jan 4, 2016

Called it when they announced it.

I also expect the final game to look totally different from what we saw at E3.

Exentryk · Jan 4, 2016

Expected this.

Polish the game. Make it good. I'll buy it if it comes to a platform I own.

dmr87 · Jan 4, 2016

Shocking nooz.

Kriken · Jan 4, 2016

Was expecting it, but disappointed none the less

Barry Burton · Jan 4, 2016

This doesn't surprise me. It was obvious that the game was very early on in-development when they announced it.

DagnastyEp · Jan 4, 2016

Wow, lots of people were predicting a delay, but I'm surprised at how early it's being announced.

I also wonder if they're trying to move the new IP to a less busy time in the spring perhaps?

sublimit · Jan 4, 2016

The first of many 2016 delays that are about to follow. Horizon will be next.

Dougieflesh · Jan 4, 2016

Was bound to happen.

This industry needs more Bethesdas and less Microsofts.

These three-year "hype" cycles are tiring as fuck.

Mpl90 · Jan 4, 2016

I am shocked till my bones and my soul.

MrV4ltor · Jan 4, 2016

Well their last gameplay showing was pretty telling. The world looked empty, framerate was abysmal and the combat didn't look deep at all. MS announced this one way too early.

Zeouterlimits · Jan 4, 2016

Vader no indeed, this is one I did not expect to slip (but others clearly did).

YuriLowell · Jan 4, 2016

This happens every year.

SEGAvangelist · Jan 4, 2016

Good. It would have been clobbered during Holiday 2016.

Also... 2017 is going to be so amazing, guys!

Dinda · Jan 4, 2016

time to implement Character Creation......would make me interested in the game.

Raide · Jan 4, 2016

A little disappointing but take your time Platinum. I would rather have it amazing than just so-so and forgotten about quickly. Make the combat awesome, have loads of content and interesting MP modes.

KingSnake · Jan 4, 2016

And thus the "2016 - best year in games" begins.

Given how ambitious the game seems to be it kind of makes sense.

Leona Lewis · Jan 4, 2016

Performance looked rough, so it's probably for the better.

This leaves a pretty big hole in the XB1's lineup this year, though. Time for another surprise moneyhat?

GlamFM · Jan 4, 2016

Very interested in this.

Take your time.

Welfare · Jan 4, 2016

FUCK

Damn it. Probably would've been left in the dust if it were holiday 2016.

Crayolan · Jan 4, 2016

I never would've expected this.

Oh wait

Crayolan said:
All the big games expected for 2016 will be delayed to 2017, only exceptions being the big games expected for 2015 which were already delayed to 2016.

Hibiki Kurosawa · Jan 4, 2016

And so it begins....

Not surprised btw.

Liamc723 · Jan 4, 2016

The first big delay of 2016.

The first of many I think.

Mr. Nice_Guy · Jan 4, 2016

I'm a little surprised. I thought it was further along than it was apparently. But I imagine the game will look a lot different

better

upon release now.

jelly · Jan 4, 2016

2016 is packed.....

It begins.

Scalebound will be 2017, I'm calling it. That game is still a looong ways off.

When I'm right, I'm right.

JimJamJones · Jan 4, 2016

Let's face it, this was always (scale)bound to be delayed.

Even I feel a little ashamed.

sublimit · Jan 4, 2016

fantomena · Jan 4, 2016

4 days into 2016 and already a delay. Woooooooo!

Triggerhappytel · Jan 4, 2016

Yeah, no-one's surprised by this. I sure am glad that MS decided to announce it near enough 3 years before release with a CGI trailer though!

wildbite · Jan 4, 2016

I figured there would be delays on the games I had my eyes on. I planned on picking up an Xbox One for Scalebound and ReCore. I wonder if ReCore will be delayed too.

MatrixMan.EXE · Jan 4, 2016

Welp.

I don't think we heard from Guerilla that it's 2016.

dancrane212 · Jan 4, 2016

4 days in and my most anticipated list takes a hit.

Some Nobody · Jan 4, 2016

I'm not even a little surprised. Plus 2016 is already packed and I don't want to buy an XBO yet. I'm fairly confident ReCore and Quantum Break make it out this year though, so they should be fine.

SomedayTheFire said:

Who told you that? They said they were targeting 2016 either at E3 or shortly afterwards.

SymbiantXenos · Jan 4, 2016

So whens far cry primal getting delayed?

please dont be

funkystudent · Jan 4, 2016

Not shocked.

Last holiday probably finally thought MS that its better to spread releases out instead of stacking the last 3 months.

FHIZ said:

During the pre E3 announcements.

Primethius · Jan 4, 2016

Expected it since it looked pretty rough but also because it would've most likely been sent to die in the fall.

Early next year could do it wonders.

myco666 · Jan 4, 2016

So "Gafs most anticipated games of 2016" list will already have at least one game out.

Possumowner · Jan 4, 2016

Not shocked one bit.Probably a good thing,gives them more than enough time to sort obvious issues out,frame rate etc
