Last Guardian Delayed, Strange Sheep-Thing Fans Weep

Fans of giant oddly sheep-like mythical animals will be distraught to hear that the Last Guardian, a game which features such an animal, has been delayed.

Fumito Ueda, the lead designer of the game, said :

“I announced at last year’s Tokyo Game Show that the release timing of The Last Guardian which is currently being developed would be holiday 2011,”

“All the members of my production team are working together at a fast pace to develop and release the game in First Party Studio quality.

“I sincerely apologize to all the customers who have been waiting for The Last Guardian for so long, but I beg for your patience. I will also announce the new release timing at a later time.”

The big sheep-thing is expected to please the fans by appearing in the game in 2012.
