It was bad enough when news broke that creator Fumito Ueda was leaving The Last Guardian studio Team Ico, but has the game been canceled altogether?

Game Informer associate editor Kyle Hilliard received an automated message from retailer GameStop, where he had placed a pre-order for the PlayStation 3 title. It told him that his pre-order of the game had been canceled because "the vendor has canceled production of the game..." Here is a transcript of the entire message he received:

"Hello, this is GameStop calling with important news regarding your reservation. We've been notified by the vendor that The Last Guardian has been canceled. To reserve a different title or have your reservation money refunded, please go to your local store.

"To repeat, we've been notified that the vendor has canceled production of the game The Last Guardian. If you have any questions please call your local store. Thank you. Goodbye."

Although it's possible that the retailer is simply taking the game off its books for the time being until a more firm release date is announced, it could also be a sign that the game is simply gone.

Game Informer is contacting publisher Sony to receive more info on this story, and we'll update you whenever we have more news.

If this is true, I will be deeply saddened.

Games have always been getting cancelled, but it almost feels like it's happening more so now, and it seems to happen only to games that aren't shooters.

It's sad because I feel like the FPS is a genre that is going to kill itself, much like music gaming has. It might take a while, but people are going to get tired of it...but because it's so popular now, original titles, or really any title that isn't an FPS, has a high chance of being cancelled simply because a company THINKS they MIGHT lose money on it, and that's sad.

Companies have lied like this before....

I sincerely hope it isn't cancelled. It was one of the only PS3 titles I was looking forward to!

I wonder how many thousands of pre-orders gamestop cancelled. Within weeks of The Last Guardian being released I wonder if gamestop will start to take pre-orders again.

Don't, even for a moment, believe a single word out of any Sony employees' mouth, typed or otherwise. It isn't looking good for this game and typically Sony makes their own announcements and only after they meet whatever timeline requirements. They will deny it completely until it is time for them to say otherwise.

Sony is one of the few publishers left that take a chance on "art" games like Ico anymore. I hope that they continue, but even they can't ignore the truckloads for cash Activision is raking in.
Death is certain, life is not.
