Platinum Games’ Scalebound was originally announced at E3 2014, and while it was missing at E3 2015, the title was presented a few months later at Gamescom 2015. While we know Scalebound won’t release until 2017, Microsoft has decided to once again highlight one of its highly-anticipated Xbox One games during today’s showcase.

During the showcase, Platinum Games showcased the biggest fight we've seen out of Scalebound so far as several players faced off against a massive leviathan-crab-like monster. The characters were diverse, using weapons like swords, bows, spells, and more to take down the massive creature throughout the several minutes long clip. It's a really interesting thing to see in action, and with the addition of launching on Windows 10 PCs at the same time, Scalebound could turn out to be a huge hit for Microsoft. The game is slated for a 2017 release date, but sadly we'll have to wait to learn more about the game's characters, world, and more.
