God of War dev not working on The Last Guardian

God of War developer Santa Monica Studio has denied its involvement with The Last Guardian.

It was widely reported last year that the studio was involved in development for the Sony title.

However Santa Monica Studio's Tim Moss ended the speculation when he denied the link.

"I'm never really sure how that got in the press, because as far as I'm aware we're not helping out with The Last Guardian," he told Eurogamer.

"The only way you can say that is the knowledge that we contribute back to the central tech groups benefits The Last Guardian. So I'm guessing someone was slightly misquoted."

Moss added that Sony's various studios rarely collaborate on projects.

"The different Sony first-party teams do not necessarily actively work together, but we do communicate with each other," he said.

"We tend to visit each other several times a year, and doing so we may exchange ideas. They've been here, and we've been there. We do ask each other how are you doing that, and just sometimes go over to provide feedback."

Details on The Last Guardian have been sparse since it was first announced in 2009. It was originally set to be a PlayStation 3 title but is now expected to arrive on the PlayStation 4.
