The Last Guardian: Fumito Ueda's Poetic Video Game Launches on PS4

After over a decade of development, the video game The Last Guardian has finally been released for PlayStation 4. Created by Japanese designer Fumito Ueda, known for Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, the game continues his signature style of visual poetry and evocation. Nearly wordless, it tells the story of a boy and a giant griffin who communicate through gestures as they navigate perilous environments. Ueda, who holds a degree in art history and began his career in visual arts, enriches the game with references to ancient civilizations, ruins, and mysterious monuments.
