The Last Guardian, Sony’s much-anticipated follow-up to Shadow of the Colossus, has been delayed. Originally set for an Oct. 25 release, The Last Guardian will finally be available to the public on Dec. 6, according to Sony.

In an update on the PlayStation Blog, Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshidi said extra time was needed to fix bugs.

"The Last Guardian development team is fast approaching major milestones in production and has made the tough decision to delay the release of The Last Guardian a few weeks," he said.

"A delay is a difficult decision, particularly with this game, but we have encountered more bugs than anticipated while in the final stages of development,” Yoshidi said. “To ensure that The Last Guardian delivers on the experience that the game’s creators have envisioned, we need to take the extra time to work on those issues."

The Last Guardian will be launched on Xbox One, PS4 and PC on Dec. 6.

The Last Guardian: The player pushes large physical obstructions to make their way through each level

At its E3 2015 press conference, Sony showed off new gameplay footage from The Last Guardian.

The trailer showed a boy we’ve seen in previous trailers, who worked with a large creature to overcome obstructions to survive. Set in mountains, the player pushed large physical obstructions to make their way through each level. The trailer also highlighted the player sailing through the air after a high jump, and the creatures reacted by saving the player by catching him with its mouth. Though it missed, the creature’s tail swung forward to let the player grab on and reach for safety.
