Gamescom 2015: Scalebound gets 4-player co-op

Hideki Kamiya was on the stage at Gamescom 2015 to unveil the first gameplay footage of Scalebound. Microsoft’s press conference announced that the Xbox One exclusive will also get a four-player mode.

This is an action RPG with a guy riding a massive dragon. If you loved that scene in Avatar, then this game is for you. And in co-op mode everyone gets a dragon, which they can communicate with in battle.

The trailer featured a wise-cracking young guy, with a set of headphones blasting out dance music, in the heat of battle. He has a dragon arm, which seems to give him the ability to go half man, half dragon in battle. During a skirmish with some soldiers, he whipped out his bow and arrow, but had more than a little help from his fire-breathing buddy.

The only bad news is that Scalebound’s not released until Holiday 2016. Until then, watch the trailer.

Chella Ramanan

Chella hails from the UK and joined Gameindustry.com around the year 2000. It was so many moons ago, she can't quite remember. Back then, the only women you saw in the games industry were in bikinis and vertiginous heels at trade shows - oh how times have changed, kind of. Chella started as a humble reviewer, but soon became our European Correspondent and keeps us on top of industry happenings across the Pond. She tends to like the weird Japanese games we've never heard of, so that's good for making us look all-encompassing and stuff. Chella does like games, so don't be fooled by the copious amount of columns devoted to bemoaning the lack of variety in the industry. When she's not surfing (the sea, not the internet) or camping up mountains, Chella likes a good action RPG (especially if it's sci-fi), anything with a good narrative and like we said, the weirder the better. She's also a regular in the GiN Lounge, but that's just because we like her accent.
