"Don't worry, as usual, I'm still working hard on The Last Guardian," he said, without directly addressing the rumours of his departure from Sony.

 

Ooooo the rumours

For him to say that he's still working hard on Last Guardian, he must have surely heard about the rumours. If he had heard about them and he was not leaving Sony, then he would have no reason not to say "I am not leaving Sony".

This seems kinda legit to me, which saddens me. Don't go Team Ico, you are my favourite developers of Sony!

Spot on.

He obviously heard about the story of his departure, yet he didn't debunk it.

 

Maybe he wants to start his own company.  But just because he left, that doesn't mean the end for TEAM ICO, and Sony's great at spotting and acquiring talent.

As long as THE LAST GUARDIAN gets done, I'm good.   :)
