The Last Guardian Gameplay Details Leaked By The Esrb The Last Guardian

The game is directed and designed by Fumito Ueda, who received almost universal praise for his work on the cult classics Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Needless to say, anticipation for The Last Guardian is palpable.

The ESRB assigned a “T” rating to The Last Guardian today while providing a summary of the game’s content, which reveals previously-unknown details about various gameplay elements:

Similarly to Ico, it appears that The Last Guardian will feature enemies, a combat system, and weapons. Enemies found in the game may be reminiscent of the shadow-like creatures in Ico, as the ESRB mentions the player’s ability to “rip the helmets off enemy characters” and the notable lack of gore. This implies that nothing exists beneath helmets in the first place, which raises a new question of whether The Last Guardian and Ico exist in the same universe.

The Last Guardian will be released December 6, 2016 exclusively for PS4.
