The game that seems to be stuck forever in development hell, The Last Guardian, has once again been delayed. Sony's Shuhei Yoshida personally took to the PlayStation Blog to deliver the bad news. The good news here is that the game isn't delayed by too much time this go around. It has been shifted to a December 6, 2016 release date.
The final weeks of November and the first week of December includes releases such as Final Fantasy XV, Gravity Rush 2, and now The Last Guardian. It's a very packed couple of weeks for PlayStation 4 owners, perhaps a little too packed now.
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.
Our development continues to push itself to the fullest and we look forward to revealing new content toward launch.
We appreciate your continued support.
