GameStop Apologizes – Last Guardian Not Canceled

Despite the departure of one of its top devs, Team ICO is still continuing development on The Last Guardian. In fact, when the dev (Fumito Ueda) left, he confirmed that he would be finishing the game, just in a more freelance capacity. GameStop doesn’t seem to have gotten the memo, and earlier this week removed the game from their website and sent emails to gamers letting them know the game had been canceled.

Sony didn’t take too kindly to GameStop canceling a game on their behalf, and quickly issued a statement confirming that the game was still in development. GameStop seems to have gotten THAT message, though, and they’ve since issued an apology (to Kotaku, of all places) outlining that, no, the game hasn’t been canceled but yes, your pre-orders have been.

The game will be made available for pre-order again once a concrete launch date is established. In the meantime, it looks like this is just a simple misunderstanding on the part of GameStop – or Sony desperately trying to save hype for a game that may turn into vaporware.
