Sony has announced that the long awaited and often-delayed PS4 exclusive The Last Guardian has been pushed back a bit further.

Announced at E3 2016 to be releasing this October, the action adventure game will now need additional time for polishing, and a new release date has been set for December 6, 2016.

"Fumito Ueda, gen DESIGN and JAPAN Studio have a wonderful vision for The Last Guardian’s touching, emotional journey of friendship and trust, and we want to deliver the most polished experience possible for our fans who have supported us for so long. A delay is a difficult decision, particularly with this game, but we have encountered more bugs than anticipated while in the final stages of development. To ensure that The Last Guardian delivers on the experience that the game’s creators have envisioned, we need to take the extra time to work on those issues," said Shuhei Yoshida, President of SCE Worldwide Studios.

The Last Guardian was originally announced for PS3 before leaving the spotlight for a few years and re-emerging at E3 2015.
