I wonder if it's just as much about how many exclusives Microsoft has this year instead of whether Scalebound could be finished by the fall. Halo Wars 2, Quantum Break, Gears of War 4, Crackdown 3, Recore, Sea of Thieves...why add a new IP to that mix? I think it'll be very similar to Quantum Break/Titanfall and even Bloodborne on PS - a spring release next year.
