The eagerly awaited game has been years in development. It was supposed to be finished this year, but was delayed to next year. The Last Guardian was AWOL at this year’s Tokyo Game Show.
There are rumours circulating that Fumito Ueda, the game’s creator, left Sony to go freelance. Recently, Ueda stated via Twitter that he is hard at work on the title. He did not address the rumours that he’s quit Sony.
Earlier this year, Kotaku saw The Last Guardian and spoke with Ueda about games and art.

Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 6:50 AMWill thy do a “team bondi” now and not give him credit now being exec producer?That would suck to spend years being the major creative force on a project and not get the kudos.

Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 11:18 AMWhy would he quit (hopefully) so close to the games release? Doesn’t he have enough pride in the project to see it through?
So he’s off to oversee development of a 3D social game for Murdoch. Presumably some users will be celebrities, or victims of terrible crimes, and the other half will be journalists making their lives hell.
