Sony: Nope, Mark Cerny isn’t working on The Last Guardian

Rumours of The Last Guardian at this year’s E3 were thankfully true… but it turns out, not all of them. Today, Sony declared that Knack‘s Mark Cerny is not directly attached to the project.

“The way the rumour was written is not true,” Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida told GamesIndustry.biz. “Mark has been helping many of our teams, the same way he’s giving advice to The Last Guardian team, especially on the technical side – he has deep, deep knowledge of the PlayStation 4.

“Different teams need different types of help and we have the central tech group as well, these teams have also been helping too. So the rumours had it that Mark Cerny and the Knack team were finishing the game, that’s totally wrong.

“It’s an internal Japan Studios development so when one project finishes like Knack or The Puppeteer, these are done internally, the members move to other projects. In that way they share the resources.”

The Last Guardian is (finally) expected next year.
