Der var mange der var kede af det da Microsoft og Platinum Games afslørede, at Scalebound var blevet aflyst. Siden da har adskillige rapporter påpeget, at spillet faktisk lever i bedste velgående, men disse rapporter er nu blevet skudt ned.
I et interview med VGC fortæller Platinum-studiechefen Atsushi Inaba, at der ikke er nogen planer om at genoplive spillet. Desuden siger han at det var begge parter der fejlede, ikke bare Microsoft.
"Watching fans getting angry at Microsoft over the cancellation wasn't easy for us to watch. Because the reality is, when any game in development can't get released it's because both sides failed."
"I think there are areas where we could've done better and I'm sure there are areas that Microsoft as a publishing partner wish that they could've done better. Because nobody wants a game to be cancelled."
