Sony went dark for nearly a year, with no showing at E3 in the summer of 2012, and in November of that year, Sony Worldwide Studios Boss, Shuhei Yoshida, refused to commit to a 2013 release date, adding that, “the last time we talked of a date for The Last Guardian, we had ultimately disappointed many people.” Soon after, one of The Last Guardian’s Executive Producers, Yoshifusa Hayama, along with several other team members, packed their bags and went home. Then, in March 2011, it was announced that The Last Guardian will not be making its 2011 release after all.įast-forward to November 2011, when the creator of The Last Guardian’s predecessors, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, Fumito Ueda, left Sony, but stayed on as a freelancer to work on the project. Was it not a magical experience, seeing everything we had been waiting for come to fruition, Trico in all his or her glory, helping the boy solve all those platforming puzzles and making us all a bit emotional in the process? Footage of The Last Guardian was curiously absent at E3 the following year but fears were assuaged at the 2010 Tokyo Game Show, when a 2011 holiday release was announced. Let’s cast our minds back to the 2009 E3 trailer for the Last Guardian. Then, they went out and bought a PS4, so that you can hopefully play The Last Guardian. Think of how many people clambered to get their hands on a PS3 just to play that game, then only to realise that it will never arrive on that platform. It started life as a PS3 exclusive, the PS3. Since development began by Team Ico in 2007, it has been delayed numerous times. The Last Guardian started to become a bit mythical a fabled video game, one that is perpetually in reach but you can never grasp with your greedy little hands and caress with your stubby fingers.
