The Last Guardian Release Date Finally Revealed, Watch New Gameplay Trailer

Sony has announced The Last Guardian will launch on October 25. The announcement was made during its E3 2016 press conference, where a new gameplay trailer was also shown. Check it out below.

The gameplay provided another look at the close bond between the main character, a young boy, and his companion Trico. During the video we also get to see that there are other creatures of the same species as Trico in the game.

The trailer ends with the Trico making anguished noises and the young boy asking if his wings are broken. As expected from Team Ico, The Last Guardian looks like it's going to be tugging at our heartstrings.

After years of speculation, Sony used its E3 2015 briefing to announce that The Last Guardian, which was originally revealed in 2009 as a PS3 title, had shifted to PS4. It is being developed by Sony Japan Studio and genDESIGN.

In November 2015, Sony said it was purposefully holding back what it shows of The Last Guardian because it is a story-heavy game.
