The Last Guardian Still Being Developed Says Fumito Ueda

The creator of the long-delayed PS3-exclusive The Last Guardian has urged everyone to "keep an eye out" for more news on the game's development.

Fumito Ueda posted on his website that the game is still being worked on and that he remains in charge of the project, albeit in a freelance capacity. What's interesting though is his assertion that it's Sony's job to announce more details about the game, especially with the company having a big event taking place in New York next week.

“

The Last Guardian remains under my creative supervision and is still in development by an incredibly talented team.

"While it’s been a long time coming, The Last Guardian remains under my creative supervision and is still in development by an incredibly talented team," he said.

"I should also mention that details regarding The Last Guardian's release is solely decided by Sony Computer Entertainment, not myself. Please keep an eye out for their official announcement.

"Moving forward, it is my intent to continue my involvement with The Last Guardian project, as well as pursue new creative projects with a fresh perspective. As I rekindle my passions as a creator, I look forward to seeing where it will take me, and I deeply appreciate your support during this transition."

Now, we're not sure about you, but it's that middle bit that strikes us as interesting. If responsibility for the announcement lies with Sony, it seems reasonable that this could be because the company has yet to officially announce the platform that the game is now being developed for. With a big announcement of some sort planned for February 20, if this was the case then it'd certainly make sense for us to "keep an eye out" for fresh developments.

Not long to go now, folks. What do you reckon Sony will reveal next week? And could The Last Guardian be a significant part of whatever it shows us?
