"Stop making stuff up, alright?!"

Don’t you dare shed a tear for that great, hulking cat-bird just yet, as new Sony Computer Entertainment America president Shawn Layden has reiterated in an interview with Geoff Keighley that The Last Guardian is still in development in Japan. The status of the title was pulled into doubt recently, when IGN reported that the title had been “officially cancelled”. It’s since retracted the story, after the platform holder countered the claims.

“Just interviewed Shawn Layden, new CEO of SCEA,” the GameTrailers TV host wrote on Twitter. “He says that The Last Guardian is in full development in Japan. Unequivocally.” Keighley concluded that the full conversation will be broadcast as part of Spike TV’s live stream, perhaps indicating that the release will not appear during PlayStation’s press conference if the segment is set to run after the Japanese giant’s big show. We’ll find out for sure in a few hours.
