Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) boss Andrew House has admitted he ‘couldn’t say’ if Team ICO’s The Last Guardian will put in an appearance at either GamesCom or the Tokyo Game Show later this year.
The eagerly anticipated PS3 exclusive was conspicuously absent from Sony’s E3 press conference on Tuesday, which has prompted many folk to assume it’ll show up at a later event.
However, when asked by Eurogamer if the game would show up at GamesCom in August or September’s Tokyo Game Show, House said, “I couldn’t say right now.”
“Having spent six years working in Japan, I can guarantee you people will be hard at work, all hours of the night and day,” he added. “I have not seen it recently, other than what’s been shown publicly.”
Asked why he thought the game was not shown at E3, House replied: “I think the team just made a decision that they didn’t want to talk about the progress on the game or reveal it at this particular stage, and we have to respect that.”
The Last Guardian was announced at E3 2009 and also turned up at the Tokyo Game Show later that year.
