Just because a company says “no comment” doesn’t mean it’s true, but when the question is as simple as whether a lauded, acclaimed employee like Fumito Ueda (http://www.giantbomb.com/fumito-ueda/72-89582/) is still working for you, that’s an easy one to answer.
The rumors were true, unfortunately.
Sony has issued a statement to Gamasutra (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/39100/Confirmed_Ico_Creator_Fumito_Ueda_Leaves_Sony.php) confirming the lead designer on Ico (http://www.giantbomb.com/ico/61-9638/) and Shadow of the Colossus (http://www.giantbomb.com/shadow-of-the-colossus/61-6522/) has officially left the company.
Ueda is still contracted to work on the still-in-development The Last Guardian (http://www.giantbomb.com/the-last-guardian/61-26513/), and is apparently “committed to completing” the game.
The Last Guardian is scheduled for a release in 2012, but the game has been delayed several times.
