Sony unveiled The Last Guardian a number of years ago, initially as a PlayStation 3 exclusive. However, despite the long and troubled development cycle, the company has refused to announce its cancellation and has remained certain that it will come out eventually.
Unfortunately, that may longer be true as Sony has opted to abandon The Last Guardian trademark, according to the game's listing on the Office of Patent and Trademarks in the US. That said, the status of the trademark may not necessarily point to cancellation, while it may seem likely, Sony could also be planning to unveil the game under a new name in the future.
Additionally, Sony has abandoned The Last Guardian trademark once before and then came back to it later.
The last bit of news we got about the PlayStation exclusive was a few months back, in December last year, at which time we learned that the game was still in development. Plans may have changed since then but for now, it is hard to know what the future holds for the game.

KitGuru Says: Sony may not comment at all on the trademark abandonment. Maybe the company will finally put an end to the speculation this year and either cancel the game or give it a new release date.
It’s a such a shame. It really sounds like a great and interesting concept, but I have a feeling that this won’t ever be done.
they should just give up why make a game for ps3 i mean if it was close to done then maybe but yeah 😛
The project has most probably be moved to PS4 years ago. It was said to face technical difficulties, so i would not be surprise if the PS3 was limiting the creativity of Ueda an his team, so they moved to PS4 (explaining why nothing could be show as the game restarted almost from scratch.
That’s just my hypothesis, but I highly doubt they kept the PS3 target for the last couple of years.
