Team ICO’s The Last Guardian may be dangerously close to being vapourware to most observers, given that it’s been in development since 2007, but SCE Worldwide Studios PlayStation software product development head Scott Rohde has assured us that it is indeed in the mix.
While speaking to IGN though, he refused to comment on which platform it would be coming to. Because that would be too easy. “[I’m] not going to announce what platform it’s coming on, who’s working on it, who’s involved. But that is still a title that’s absolutely in the mix at Worldwide Studios. That’s the most you’re gonna get.”
Sony is still committed to the project thankfully and that has much to do with the interest of fans. “We want to make great games. And when we see that the public is so interested in a specific game, of course that drives us to want to complete that game. But it also drives us to want to make it great. We would not want to ship that game if we don’t think it’s great.
“I love that people are still interested in it. That’s an honour to us. That’s not just me spinning. It’s really cool that people are still interested in it, and we’re trying to make the best thing we can out of The Last Guardian.”
Now when will it be out and which controller will you need to be holding when that happens? Stay tuned in the coming months to find out.
