The Last Guardian will definitely be out in 2013, right? RIGHT?

ony worldwide studios president Shuhei Yoshida has refused to commit to a 2013 release date for troubled game The Last Guardian.

Speaking toJeuxvideo, Yoshida said he did not want to commit to a specific schedule through fear of disappointing consumers waiting for the title.

He added Team Ico was still hard at work on the project however, despite a lengthy development, and was busy working on the engine and the technical aspects of the title.

No, sorry, I can’t say that… Because the last time we talked of a date for The Last Guardian, we had ultimately disappointed many people,” said Yoshida, as translated by Google.

But I can tell you that the team is working hard on the project and in particular the engine. It is precisely because the teams are working on the technical aspect of the game that we have nothing concrete to show you today. I look so now the right time to be able to introduce you to The Last Guardian and speak in complete serenity of a release date.”
