Sony Interactive Entertainment has confirmed the impossible: The Last Guardian has gone gold.

This means the code on the game is complete, and it’s being readied for production and its final release. The news comes via Sony Worldwide Studio Boss Shuhei Yoshida, who confirmed the game’s status.

The game has been in development for over a decade since game creator Fumito Ueda first started conceptualizing it as Project Trico, back in 2005.

The Last Guardian will launch for PlayStation 4 on December 6th in North America, Japan, and Europe, December 7th in Australia, and finally December 9th in the UK.
