Now Playing: The Last Guardian Official Trailer

"Going gold" means that primary development has concluded and the game can be pressed to physical discs. However, with the proliferation of day-one patches and DLC, there's still typically lots of work for developers to do after reaching this important milestone.

The Last Guardian was primarily developed by Fumito Ueda, the talent behind Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. It was set to launch on the PS3, but various issues have now brought it to the PS4. The game is set to release on December 6, but if you can't wait to get a taste of what will be in the game, you can check out a good chunk of gameplay and our initial impressions right here..
