Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive, The Last Guardian has been delayed once more. Now the game is scheduled to release on 6th December in the US, 7th December in Europe and 9th December in Ireland and the UK.
You can read the whole announcement on the PlayStation blog, where Shuhei Yoshida, the President of Sony Computer Entertainment Worlwide Studios explains:
“The Last Guardian development team is fast approaching major milestones in production and has made the tough decision to delay the release of The Last Guardian a few weeks. The Last Guardian will launch on December 6, 2016.
Fumito Ueda, gen DESIGN and JAPAN Studio have a wonderful vision for The Last Guardian’s touching, emotional journey of friendship and trust, and we want to deliver the most polished experience possible for our fans who have supported us for so long. A delay is a difficult decision, particularly with this game, but we have encountered more bugs than anticipated while in the final stages of development. To ensure that The Last Guardian delivers on the experience that the game’s creators have envisioned, we need to take the extra time to work on those issues.”
The Last Guardian was originally set to release on 25th October, 2016. The interesting thing is that the game been in development since 2007, and was originally planned for release in 2011 for the PlayStation 3. Since then the game has been delayed numerous times and hopefully will finally be released this year.
