Of all the games Sony has to showcase at this year’s E3, Team ICO’s long in development The Last Guardian remains right at the top of our most wanted list. But after a protracted development cycle and countless delays, the platform holder is not promising anything about the title’s potential reappearance at next month’s big show.
The company issued a statement to Games Informer news editor Jim Reilly stating that while “The Last Guardian continues to be developed” the company has “no news to share at this time with regard to the franchise and E3”.
The Last Guardian was officially revealed way back at E3 2009, with subsequent showcases held at the Tokyo Game Show in 2009 and 2010. It's been missing ever since. Rumours are that the game is struggling with technical issues, and that Sony’s top technical teams in Europe and North America have been pulled onto the project to try and get it back on track.
There’s every chance that Sony could be acting coy in order to ensure a bigger surprise during its press conference, but given the development cycle of The Last Guardian so far, we’re not expecting to see the game at all.

How long until this is cancelled, I wonder?
@James Hmmm. I dunno. At this point they've ploughed so many resources into it, you figure it has to come out. If they were going to cancel it, I think it would have happened by now.
PS4? This and BG&E2 would make a really impressive launch 8-)
ff versus 13 and this...sony should make more effort in getting these out,they will boost quite a few ps3 sales
Maybe...just maybe they're making a Vita version of the game...Crossing fingers and hoping for the best. This game got so much attention and hype that if they do cancel it im going to go bonkers.
haha take so long to make 1 ps3 version,another for ps vita will gona take another 8 years?
@JavierYHL Thanks for killing my dream...LOL. Well Sony claim that the PS Vita is on par with PS3 in terms of spec, a port shouldnt take so long. Im still playing shadow of the colossus and every time i fall off that damn giant bird I still get that weightlessness sensation. Wierd.
I'm really worried about this one now. I really hope that it doesn't end up getting the axe.
@JavierYHL Sony's got nowt to do with FFVXIII, take that up with Square Enix!
@James 2 Weeks minimum before they cancel it.
At least 2 weeks until my dreams and hopes are shattered. If this gets released against the odds, this WILL be the best game on PS3. Period
