What's happening with Sony Japan's The Last Guardian?

Last we heard it was still coming out for the PlayStation 3 - the platform it was announced for launch on four years ago in 2009 - but, according to Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida, there were "certain technical issues" the development team was struggling with.

The Last Guardian's AWOL nature has sparked speculation that it has either been cancelled or shifted to the PlayStation 4, but today fresh speculation has linked it back to the PS3.

The Entertainment Software Association's official E3 website, E3 Insider, lists The Last Guardian as making an appearance at next week's show and is down as a PS3 title.

The listing may simply be the result of an administration error, and Sony poured cold water on it this morning when contacted by Eurogamer. A spokesperson told us: "The page on the ESA site is speculative I'm afraid."

Sony raised eyebrows when it failed to show The Last Guardian at either E3 or Gamescom last year, and it was another no-show at the PS4 reveal event in February 2013. If it fails to turn up at E3 this year, more questions are sure to be asked.

Meanwhile, E3 Insider lists Grand Theft Auto 5 for release on PC as well as PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Again, don't get your hopes up.

Rumour confirmed! They want to make exciting surprises!

Oh for Pete's sake, just finish the damn game already! Shadow of the Colossus was amazing, I want to see what they've come up with next.

If this game still exists (which i'm confident it does), it has the potential to make for a monster of a launch window title.

They didn't say the game won't be there.

I think it will but not playable. A gameplay demo showed by Ueda is all we are getting I'm afraid..

fixed

You're making me feel old......Ico felt like it was just yesterday.....

last guardian will be release on their 20th year anniversary on ps5 with avatar like graphics

Since when is GTA5 on PC a surprising thing? I thought it was for PC as well as console.

Anyway TLG will come if and when it comes. Meanwhile there are actual games with actual release dates to look forward to. The again I am used to George R. R. Martin's interminable gaps between his books, so TLG still has a few years before it knocks up against my wall of patience.

Just please, don't be a Duke Nukem Forever once it's delivered..

I can live with that if the game's atmosphere is as good as in Team ICO's previous works :)

and I played it just yesterday, as I'm on my 4th run through it ;)
