Newsbrief: Sony's long-gestating platformer The Last Guardian has been delayed -- but this time only by a few weeks.

As confirmed on the PlayStation Blog, the game will now land on December 6, rather than on October 25 as was initially promised

"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," reads the post. 

"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."
