E3 2016: Sony Announces The Last Guardian Release Date for October

Sony’s E3 2016 press conference was all about the games, but it warmed every gamer’s heart to hear that The Last Guardian finally has a firm release date.

Originally announced way back in 2009, The Last Guardian almost became as mythical as the bird-like creature featured in the game.

This spiritual successor to Shadow of the Colossus, developed by Team Ico, was first mooted for PS3, but then suffered years of delays and everyone lost hope. Then at E3 2015, Sony pulled the biggest rabbit out of its hat and revealed new gameplay footage.

Fast forward to E3 2016 and Sony made good on their promise. The Sony exclusive is set to release on 25 October 2016, so just four more months to wait.

Until then, watch the trailer:

Chella hails from the UK and joined Gameindustry.com around the year 2000. It was so many moons ago, she can't quite remember. Back then, the only women you saw in the games industry were in bikinis and vertiginous heels at trade shows - oh how times have changed, kind of. Chella started as a humble reviewer, but soon became our European Correspondent and keeps us on top of industry happenings across the Pond. She tends to like the weird Japanese games we've never heard of, so that's good for making us look all-encompassing and stuff. Chella does like games, so don't be fooled by the copious amount of columns devoted to bemoaning the lack of variety in the industry. When she's not surfing (the sea, not the internet) or camping up mountains, Chella likes a good action RPG (especially if it's sci-fi), anything with a good narrative and like we said, the weirder the better. She's also a regular in the GiN Lounge, but that's just because we like her accent.
