Resting its eyes

In what’s quickly becoming a video game convention tradition, Sony has confirmed that The Last Guardian is still in development. This time it wasn’t Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida forced to revisit the topic, but a Japan Studio employee cornered by Kotaku at the Tokyo Game Show.

"I give you my word that it exists," the unnamed developer insisted. "We are working on it."

The hotly anticipated title is still being developed in Japan, according to the employee. In addition, creative director Fumito Ueda continues to work closely on the project, despite his role within Sony changing over the past 12 months. However, the developer notes that it’s a “very ambitious project”, and the game was announced too early.

The worker hypothesised that the reason The Last Guardian isn’t being shown at this year’s Tokyo Game Show is because Sony is starting to be more reluctant about what it reveals – opting not to talk about titles until they are closer to release.

"There are lots of pieces to the puzzle," the developer concluded. "It's a matter of getting them to fit together."

Wise words, indeed.
