[BLOG] The Last Guardian delayed again, but not for long

The Last Guardian is one of those games that's become well-known before its release, solely because of how long its taken the game to approach that release. In fact, for years the game has bounced between 'coming soon' and 'probably dead' and just as it began to approach a decade since being announced, Sony announced that yes - The Last Guardian was still alive and what's more it was given a release date!



Only today, that date has once again been delayed. However instead of having no date for release, the date has instead just been pushed back a few months to December. Phew.



Speaking on the Playstation site's blog, Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios said that the development team behind The Last Guardian was "fast approaching major milestones in production" and had taken the decision to delay the release by a few weeks to December 6th 2016.



"Fumito Ueda, gen DESIGN and JAPAN Studio have a wonderful vision for The Last Guardian’s touching, emotional journey of friendship and trust, and we want to deliver the most polished experience possible for our fans who have supported us for so long. A delay is a difficult decision, particularly with this game, but we have encountered more bugs than anticipated while in the final stages of development. To ensure that The Last Guardian delivers on the experience that the game’s creators have envisioned, we need to take the extra time to work on those issues."



Somehow I had a feeling when watching a trailer for the game at Insomnia 58 a few weekends back that The Last Guardian's troubles couldn't quite be over yet. Still, at least we have a new date to look forward to it now eh?
