The development and history behind The Last Guardian is a story in and of itself, and in a new upcoming companion book, readers will get a deeper inside look at the making of the long-awaited title from Ico and Shadow of the Colossus creator Fumito Ueda.

Publisher Future Press has announced an upcoming companion book called The Last Guardian: An Extraordinary Story that will delve into the history of the game, its development, and its inspirations, with the book being produced in collaboration with the teams at GenDesign, Sony Japan Studio, and designer Fumito Ueda.
