Every year when E3 rolls around, the question of whether Sony Interactive Entertainment will finally confirm a release date for the long-awaited release of Team Ico’s The Last Guardian comes to mind. After all, as a successor to Ico (2001) and Shadow of the Colossus (2005), the wait has indeed been a long one.
After sharing a trailer during E3 2015, Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios took to the stage and confirmed what many would have been hoping for – that a release of The Last Guardian was soon to occur. Specifically, that the game will be available on the PlayStation 4 starting October 25th 2016. While the game was originally developed for the PlayStation 3, it is now a current-generation exclusive title.
