The Last Guardian is scheduled for a 2012 release, but it's anyone's guess if that will still happen.

We still don’t know if Fumito Ueda is an employee at Sony anymore, and while the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus designer has started talking on Twitter again, he hasn’t touched upon the rumors yet.

Instead, Ueda has simply reminded the world about Ico’s coincidental 10th anniversary (today!), and promised development on the oft-delayed The Last Guardian continues. He did not talk about his role on the project, but this may provide some hope.

Perhaps Ueda even nodding in the direction of the rumors is all we need to know for now.
