Western Studios are Helping Finish The Last Guardian

Team Ico’s The Last Guardian, the studio’s first game since Shadow of the Colossus, has hit a bit of a rough patch. It’s been delayed a few times, key Y1 COM people have left the company, it’s a mess https://kotaku.com/report-the-last-guardian-creator-leaves-sony-5863807 To help get it done and out the door, Sony has drafted in outside help from some Y1 Games of its other first-party studios. Interestingly, those studios aren’t from Japan, they’re from Europe and the United States.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Asked by Wired to confirm a rumour that Sony Santa Monica (God of War) was pitching in on the project, Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida replied “Well, you know, it’s not just Santa Monica.
