The fate of The Last Guardian was called into question when a report emerged that Team Ico boss Fumito Ueda was leaving Sony. This was subsequently backed up and then confirmed by the company, although it was made clear Ueda was “committed to completing” the game before completely moving on. GameStop is now notifying those who pre-ordered the much anticipated game that it has been canceled. Sony, on the other hand, says this is not true.
The Last Guardian has been removed both from GameStop.com and the computer system used in GameStop stores. An automated message — hear it for yourself here — informed pre-orderers today that Sony has canceled the game but provided no other details. Ueda mentioned on Twitter just two weeks ago that he was still working on the game.
