Ico/Shadow of the Colossus Collection and The Last Guardian Delayed

Via the Playtation Blog, Sony Computer Entertainment has announced today that the remastered Ico and Shadow of the Colossus games, as well as The Last Guardian, are all unfortunately delayed. With all of these titles by the legendary Team ICO and mastermind, Fumito Ueda, announced at Tokyo Game Show with release dates, it's pretty dumb to hear that this happened, especially with Ico/Shadow of the Colossus remasters were suposed to be released around this time. The Last Guardian, on the other hand was supposed to be released this holiday.

"I announced at last year’s Tokyo Game Show that the release timing of The Last Guardian which is currently being developed would be holiday 2011. However, to provide more challenging and better quality of content to users and to fulfill First Party Studio’s obligations, I decided to postpone its release timing," says Fumito Ueda in a statement. "All the members of my production team are working together at a fast pace to develop and release the game in First Party Studio quality.I sincerely apologize to all the customers who have been waiting for “The Last Guardian” for so long, but I beg for your patience. I will also announce the new release timing at a later time."

Here's hoping that the release dates for all games won't be that much later. Fingers crossed!
