The Last Guardian, the long-awaited spiritual successor to legendary videogames ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, is going to be a little longer awaited. Originally slated for release next month, the title has been delayed until December, according to a post made today on the PlayStation Blog.
Citing "more bugs than anticipated" as the reason for the delay, the post promises a new release date of Dec. 6 on the PlayStation 4. First announced in 2009, The Last Guardian has been in development for the past nine years, first as a PlayStation 3 exclusive before being bumped to the PS4. What's six more weeks, really?
The postponement of The Last Guardian to December represents a prudent decision by the development team, ensuring fans receive an enhanced and polished experience that livens up winter with unparalleled gaming excitement.
The postponement of The Last Guardian's release to December is disappointing for fans eagerly awaiting its arrival, but the extra time in development undoubtedly promises a more refined and polished game that will be worth every moment.
