They sure are skimpy with the details. The TGS trailer is almost exactly the same as the one shown last year.

Don't panic yet. But this isn't exactly comforting...

Listings suggest that the trademark for Sony’s long-in-development The Last Guardian has become “abandoned.” According to a status update on Trademarkia, “On Monday, August 6, 2012, status on the The Last Guardian trademark changed to Abandoned - No Statement of Use Filed.”

The Last Guardian was originally announced way back in 2009 and has continually been delayed since. It was originally set for holiday 2011 then pushed into 2012 last year. Executive producer Yoshifusa Hayama left Sony and was soon followed by creator Fumito Ueda.

Ueda said he was “committed to completing” the game in a freelance capacity and while rumors briefly indicated that the game had been canceled, Sony later reported it was still “making progress.”

After missing TGS 2011 and being absent from E3 2012, we last heard from Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida that The Last Guardian is “still in development.”

We’ve reached out to Sony for comment about the trademark and will update with any comment we receive. For more on The Last Guardian, listen to our thoughts on Podcast Beyond.

The only thing it means is that it's not coming out by Jan 2013.

Damn, that plus Ueda leaving the project 'halfway' isn't exactly comforting.

sure hope it comes out soon, ICO and SOTC are some of the most entertaining games i have ever played.

 

[Shropt]

It's dead. They never even showed real gameplay footage and what they did show had already gone through one major graphics change.

 

[SOLIDSNAKE]
