It's time for your latest update on The Last Guardian

"People are going through this roller coaster of emotions, and it's our fault for not releasing the game yet."

It really wouldn't be a big game show without your regular update on perennial absentee The Last Guardian, and Eurogamer's happy as ever to oblige, with Sony Computer Entertainment's president of worldwide studios telling us once again what's going on with Team Ico's game.

Prior to E3 there had been some confusion as to whether The Last Guardian had been cancelled or not after an erroneous report appeared on IGN. "There were a difficult couple of days before the show - I'm sure you noticed," Yoshida told Eurogamer. "I'm so happy it was retracted before the show happened."

As to what's actually happening with The Last Guardian, which is widely believed to have shifted platform to PlayStation 4, the situation remains much as it was at Gamescom last year. "It's the same message!" Yoshida said with a smile.

"Lots of people tweeted me they were heartbroken by that news [prior to the show]. People are going through this roller coaster of emotions, and it's our fault for not releasing the game, yet. We owe a lot to those people, but we really don't want to release piecemeal information until we can say this is The Last Guardian - so we ask you to wait."

Hopefully that wait won't be too much longer.
