The Last Guardian Is Officially 'On Hiatus'

The Last Guardian has become a bit of a running joke in the industry at this point, in the vein of Duke Nukem Forever.

Announced four years ago at Sonys E3 as the next ambitious project by fan and critic favorites Team ICO as the follow up to the seminal Shadow of the Colossus, the Playstation 2 game. However, after its initial announcement, which admittedly took everyone by storm, the game disappeared from the public eye, with its absence at all official events, such as TGS and subsequent E3s, being puzzling. Sonys refusal to talk about the game exacerbated matters, and amidst rumors, it emerged that the mastermind of the team, the auteur  Ueda had left the studio and Sony. It seemed like the game would forever languish in development hell.

Now some news has emerged for the game, and it is not exactly great news.

I think the cool thing about our worldwide development studios is we have so many projects out there from so many great teams, Jack Tretton said. Projects never ultimately go away, so The Last Guardian has certainly not gone away, but its on hiatus right now.

So the game is not in active development anymore it sucks for fans of the studio who were looking forward to the game, but it is what it is.

Well, that's that, I guess. Sucks for those looking forward to it though.

Last Guardian developers can suck a fat one.

Old. But they should move it to PS4 or can it. I have no care for that game anymore which is disappointing

Sony Corrects Themselves, Says The Last Guardian Is Not on 'Hiatus' http://kotaku.com/sony-corrects-themselves-says-the-last-guardian-is-not-512720979 That hiatus termIm not a native English-speaking personbut thats misleading," Yoshida told me a few minutes ago during an interview here at E3. He'd watched Tretton's comments on Spike.com while eating lunch. "The game is in active development. [Lead designer Fumito] Ueda-san shared updates a few months ago. Nothing has changed. My answer is, 'Yes, the game is in active development.' Its not hiatus at all. But we are not ready to reintroduce it. When we are ready, we will do that. Please wait."johny300
