Earlier today Sony’s Jack Tretton told Geoff Keighley on Game Trailers that The Last Guardian was on a “hiatus”, but Sony Worldwide boss Shuhei Yoshida said that that statement was misleading, and took it upon himself to issue a correction.
Speaking to Kotaku’s Stephen Totilo at E3, Yoshida said:
That hiatus term—I’m not a native English-speaking person—but that’s misleading,” Yoshida told me a few minutes ago during an interview here at E3. He’d watched Tretton’s comments on Spike.com while eating lunch. “The game is in active development. [Lead designer Fumito] Ueda-san shared updates a few months ago. Nothing has changed. My answer is, ‘Yes, the game is in active development.’ It’s not hiatus at all. But we are not ready to reintroduce it. When we are ready, we will do that. Please wait.
Rest easy fans, you will definitely have to wait a bit longer, but the game’s not canned.
