The Last Guardian delayed

The official Playstation Blog confirms that Team Ico's {The Last Guardian} has suffered another delay.

Director Fumito Ueda released the following statement:

"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.

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."

To make matters worse, the {Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection}, has also been pushed back. No new date was given for the collection. Perhaps both will be properly dated at E3...
