Looks like The Last Guardian is still alive and well and was recently spotted at a Portuguese retail store. The discovery of The Last Guardian life-state was posted via NeoGaf by a forum user named Takuya; however, the original report was found by  MetalMurphy.

The Last Guardian was missing for the last few years without any evidence of the existence. With PlayStation 4 on the horizon,  many rumors pointed towards that the long-missing title went to either PlayStation 4, stayed on PlayStation 3 or will be a cross-gen release.

The version of the game that is up for pre-order in the Portuguese retail store is for the PlayStation 3; however, this does not mean that the PlayStation 4 one doesn’t exist, and there is still hope for a cross-gen possibility. Overall, it’s gratifying to see physical proof of the game’s existence in some shape or form.

We’re close to E3 2013, and it’s safe to say the game will be officially unveiled for the PlayStation 3 or as a cross-gen release for next and current gen Sony platforms.
