GameStop Says Last Guardian Cancelled… But Not Cancelled For Realsies

Last night, we saw a report on Destructoid saying that Sony’s The Last Guardian—which first encountered development problems when the game’s producer, Fumito Ueda, left the company a few weeks ago—was cancelled. Retailer GameStop had been calling customers with pre-orders of the title, it seems, letting them know that the game had gotten the kibosh, seemingly putting the final nail in the game’s coffin.

But, according to a post on Joystiq, reports of The Last Guardian’s demise were greatly exaggerated, to quote one Mark Twain. Yeah, I’m busting out a mark Twain reference first thing in the morning. Deal with it.

The Joystiq post reports that Sony has denied the rumors of cancellation, and that GameStop has even issued a statement explaining why they were saying the game was dead and removed from their system:

“The Last Guardian has not been cancelled by Sony as we incorrectly stated in an automated call to reservation customers. Because the game did not have a specific release date, GameStop made the decision to remove the game from our system. The Last Guardian will be reinstated for pre-order when a firm launch date is known.”

So there you go. At this point, after all this noise has been made about the game, I really hope it does manage to come out. But as to when that will happen, it’s anybody’s guess…
