he Last Guardian has been in development at developer Gen Design and Sony’s Japan Studio for almost a decade, but it’s finally expected to ship on December 6 on the PlayStation 4.

Sony is showing hands-on gameplay at the Tokyo Game Show this week, and we got to play it ahead of time at Sony Interactive headquarters in Foster City, Calif. This Sony exclusive has had huge pent-up demand, as was evidenced by the roar that we heard when Sony re-introduced the game at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in 2015.
