Sony started their conference off winning: they revealed welcoming news that the highly-anticipated game,The Last Guardian,is still alive. Gameplay ofThe Last Guardianfeaturing a young boy and a griffin creature was shown off at the conference.
“You don’t know how long I have waited to re-introduceThe Last Guardian,” said Shuhei Yoshida, President of Sony’s Worldwide Studios for Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.
The Last Guardianhas been shrouded in mystery for years. The game was in development since 2007 and was announced at E3 2009 by Team Ico, the developers, as a PlayStation 3 exclusive. Since then, there were numerous delays and complications, at many times seeming as thoughThe Last Guardianwas canceled.
The director who was originally involved with the project, Fumito Ueda, left Sony in December 2011 but remained as consultant. In August 2012 before Gamescom,The Last Guardian‘s U.S. trademark had expired and many thought production was abandoned.
The Last Guardiannot only reappeared at Sony’s conference today, but it came with a release date (kind of): the game is scheduled to release in 2016. After so many dashed hopes, players may be wondering if 2016 is the real deal—but Twitter seemed excited enough:
OH MY GOD IM CRYING.
