Basically, this one is just a big, rancid bag of "Nooooooooo!" - The Last Guardian from Team Ico has been delayed.Creator, Fumito Ueda brought the bad news to the PlayStation Blog as follows:
"I announced at last year’s Tokyo Game Show that the release timing of
The Last Guardian which is currently being developed would be holiday 2011.
"However, to provide more challenging and better quality of content to users and to fulfil First Party Studio’s obligations, I decided to postpone its release timing.
"All the members of my production team are working together at a fast pace to develop and release the game in First Party Studio quality.
"I sincerely apologize to all the customers who have been waiting for
The Last Guardian for so long, but I beg for your patience. I will also announce the new release timing at a later time."
Sony added, "SCEE can confirm that we are officially delaying the release of
ICO/Shadow of the Colossus Collection and
The Last Guardian from their respective launch timeframes of Spring 2011 and Holiday/Winter 2011. We will provide more information regarding release timing at a later date."
