During the Sony press conference at E3 this year, the highly-anticipated The Last Guardian was given an October 25 release date. Now, game director Fumito Ueda, gen DESIGN and SIE JAPAN Studio have announced that the title will be briefly delayed and now debut on December 6, 2016.
“(We) have a wonderful vision for The Last Guardian’s touching, emotional journey of friendship and trust,” the statement on the PlayStation blog reads. “And we want to deliver the most polished experience possible for our fans who have supported us for so long. A delay is a difficult decision, particularly with this game, but we have encountered more bugs than anticipated while in the final stages of development. To ensure that The Last Guardian delivers on the experience that the game’s creators have envisioned, we need to take the extra time to work on those issues. Our development continues to push itself to the fullest and we look forward to revealing new content toward launch.”
