After a lack of intent to use the trademark, Sony has let the trademark for The Last Guardian lapse.
As the third title from Team ICO, The Last Guardian has been under a long development cycle that’s now spanned two console generations for Sony. Formally announced at 2009’s E3 press conference, the adventure title has been in and out of the news quite infrequently and most recently failed to make an appearance during last year’s PlayStation Experience. The following information regarding the trademark abandonment for The Last Guardian can be seen below, compiled by Neogaf user Rösti.
