The Last Guardian Confirmed For TGS

Sony have just confirmed to TheSixthAxis that Fumito Ueda’s The Last Guardian, the spiritual follow up to Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, will be at the Tokyo Game Show this year.

We don’t currently know whether the game will be in a public, playable format but it’s nice to finally get confirmation that the game is ready for its second major outing after E3 last year.  We’re hoping for lots of new information on the game, and in particular a release date.

No word on the oft-rumoured Team Ico Collection, though.  Here’s hoping.

  1. screw the last guardian, im just impressed that Sony actually contact TSA now, rather than the other way round.

    • Haha, that is pretty awesome =]

      I never really got into Ico or Shadow of the Colossus but with how everyone seems to talk about them I’m definitely keeping an eye on this…

      • Both were and still are amazing today, I still play them both from time to time because they are great examples of beautiful game design :)

      • Hear, Hear Blagger :) The best thing to come out of the death of my PS3 has been my revisiting Ico and SoTC. Neither title has lost any of it’s charm and their audio design is still unmatched (though LIMBO comes close)for me.

      • If you have a ps2 those games are definatly worth checking out.

  2. This does look impressive. I am looking forward to hearing of more info

  3. Awesome! Thanks a lot TSA! =D

  4. Awesome, really looking forward to this! :)

  5. Yey! This is taking forever to come out!!

  6. who is newsbot? is this actually a person or have TSA now recruiting Robots to do their dirty work? lol

    • robots don’t work for biscuits

      • I feel a forum petition coming on….. to reveal the identity of Newsbot! lol

      • No, it’s in his contract that he can’t reveal his identity. TSA have had trouble with him because he is trying to release an autobiography. It’s been in the newspapers and everything!
        At least I think it was about newsbot.
        ;)

    • Everyone at TSA has multiple personality disoders.

  7. Yup, defo one to look forward to….
    i hope that they actually bring out the HD versions of ICO and Shadow BEFORE they release Last Guardian. Be a nice lead into it…

    • I couldn’t agree more!

      • same here, havent played the originals so it would be nice to start at the beginning, that reminds me…. god of war still needs to be purchased!

      • same here never played ico or shadow and would be awesome to play them on HD.

  8. Oh joy! You don’t know how happy this makes me (my user name might give me away somewhat). If this game is anything like ico in terms of quality then we’re all in for a very special treat. ico and SoTC were videogame works of art. To all those at TSA who have never played either of Ueda’s first two games you’re in for a wonderous game if the Ico Collection ever gets released (fingers well and truly crossed). Please please please bring Last Guardian out soon and get the Collection out too.

    • Why would you want us to play ico rather than ICO?? :]

      • Ico, ico, IcO, ICo, ICO, iCO etc Etc. Oh let’s call the whole thing off;)

  9. j’adore Team ICO and kudos on having Sony contacting you guys! I loved SotC and ICO TLG is a definite day-one for me along with the Team ICO collection!(I hopes)

  10. Yessssssssssssssssssss!

    Wonder if Agent is gonna make an appearance?
