The Last Guardian can be considered \u00a0to many as the “Great Unicorn” of this gaming generation. \u00a0Toted as the spiritual successor to ICO and Shadow Of The Colossus, the game itself has been extremely enigmatic over the years concerning its production, what console is getting it, and any real update on what the game is about since its initial reveal back in 2007.<\/p>\n

Last night IGN<\/a> posted a report that indicated the game was finally canceled which\u00a0spread like a wildfire.<\/p>\n

IGN has received a report this evening that \u201cThe Last Guardian is finally cancelled.\u201d According to our sources, the information was disclosed in \u201cSony\u2019s internal meeting last week.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

And then later updating the article, clarifying its source:<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0<\/span>an internal source speaking to IGN Russia<\/a>, the information was disclosed in \u201cSony\u2019s internal meeting last week.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But then to everyone’s relief Sony responded to the rumored reports indicating the game was very much still alive.<\/p>\n

Scott Rhode, PlayStation Software Product Development Head for Sony Worldwide Studios America (yeah, he has an impressive title), took to twitter to debunk this:<\/p>\n

@notaxation<\/a> @yosp<\/a> and I laughed at this rumor over dinner. The Last Guardian has NOT been cancelled.<\/p>\n
