Undoubtedly, The Last Guardian's absence has caused concern for a number of people. So, will we finally see the game in next year? That might or might be the case, but Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida can't promise it.
In an interview with French site Jeuxvideo (translated by NeoGAF),Yoshida was asked if he can confirm if The Last Guardian will arrive next year for the PS3. Yoshida gave an honest, but unfortunate response.
No, sorry, I can not say that … Because the last time we talked about a date for The Last Guardian, we finally disappointed many people. But I can tell you that the team is working hard on the project, including the engine. It is precisely because the teams working on the technical aspect of the game that we have nothing concrete to show you today. So now I'm waiting for the right time to introduce you to The Last Guardian and speak with confidence of a release date.
Well, there you have it. So while The Last Guardian might see a release next year, don't assume it will. To be honest, if The Last Guardian doesn't make an appearance at next year's E3, I doubt it will be released within the year.
When do you think The Last Guardian will be released or do you think it's been quietly shifted for the PS4?
