The Last Guardian Is Still in the Works

There have likely been more articles devoted to the constant reaffirmation of life in The Last Guardian than to detailed description of its contents. The latest round comes from PlayStation’s Scott Rohde, Software Product Development Head for Sony Worldwide Studios America.

“So, we’re not talking about when The Last Guardian is coming out, but it is still a game that there’s a lot of love for inside PlayStation walls, because everybody sees how emotionally driven that the entire fan base of PlayStation always responds with when we talk about The Last Guardian,” Rohde said in an interview on Tuesday. “That’s something that’s very important to all of us, but we’re not announcing any details on it.”

The exact status of The Last Guardian has become a mystery, exacerbated by a leadership shakeup and a long, unprompted absence from the public eye. Sony America CEO Jack Tretton was recently quoted as saying the game was on “hiatus,” which Sony Worldwide Studios head Shuhei Yoshida countered, saying it was “in active development.” Meanwhile, Scott Rohde puts it in simpler terms:

“It is alive.”
