Check outside your window for flying pigs, because Sony has finally announced a release window for The Last Guardian. It's coming in 2016 and no, it's not a PlayStation 3 exclusive any more - it's coming to PS4.
The project from Ico and Shadow of the Colossus director Fumito Ueda was re-revealed at Sony's E3 2015 press conference along with a surprisingly vocal gameplay trailer. It looks a lot like the scarce few screens released from the old version of the game - you know, the one that was supposed to hit PS3 in 2011 - but prettier and grander.
The young boy at the heart of the adventure interacts with his giant beaky dog friend through a series of shouts and exaggerated postures - he's got big ears, so you have to speak up to get heard, after all. There's even some Shadow of the Colossus-style monster scaling (though unlike Wander, he's not trying to kill it).
Of course, 2016's still a pretty big release window, so there's still plenty of time for it to slip another half-decade back. Just kidding. I hope.
Assassin's Creed Shadows was originally envisioned without Yasuke, but Ubisoft wanted the full feudal fantasy: "We were sort of making a stealth tank, and it didn't quite work"
Assassin's Creed Shadows lead says dual protagonists are "a cool thing" the new action RPG "does better than what we've done in the past"
