Reports have surfaced indicating GameStop has decided to cancel pre-orders for the PlayStation 3 exclusive The Last Guardian.
Customers have been receiving automated phone calls from the videogame retailer stating The Last Guardian has been canceled, and there is no trace of the upcoming title on the company’s website.
GameStop may be jumping the gun though. Sony has told IGN the game is still in development, and Patrick Seybold, senior director of corporate communications at Sony, bluntly stated, “this is not true.”
This news comes in the wake of Fumito Ueda’s recent departure from Sony. Despite his decision, the head of Team Ico did indicate he plans on completing the game.
GameStop has yet to officially comment on the matter.
