The Last Guardian to Reportedly Appear at E3
The Last Guardian will finally be getting a re-reveal at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, according to a new report.
In The Guardian's rundown of its most anticipated games for E3 2015, the outlet claims it has "on very good authority that this will be the year that Team Ico finally presents its follow-up to much loved classics Ico and Shadow of the Colossus."
The Last Guardian was first announced for PlayStation 3 back in 2009, but thanks to studio troubles, the title still has yet to see the light of day. Late last year, Sony said development was progressing "under completely new conditions," leading us to suspect it's now coming to PlayStation 4.

Lynch is a mercenary found in a Singapore bar in the upcoming shooter, joined by other guns-for-hire. The 29-year-old athlete, who's showcased his gaming skills before, did mo-cap acting for the role and worked with developer Treyarch on his character.
