Team Ico Working on Highly Anticipated Sequel

Word out of the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine UK, as relayed by Team Ico Gamers Blog, indicates the next title from the Ico (PS2) and Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) developer Team Ico will continue the storyline and setting established in its previous games. It has been twice confirmed that designer Fumito Ueda and crew, the folks behind the fan favorite and startlingly atmospheric titles, have been working on at least one PlayStation 3 project since they finished Shadow of the Colossus in late 2005. According to the blog's transcription of the OPM UK column, a well-meaning reporter asked a few Sony executives about the next project from the Sony-owned Team Ico. "I'm pretty sure they're doing the sequel," an unnamed official responded, though he or she refused to disclose any more details, such as which game it follows. While today's revelation may not offer much in terms of concrete details, it serves as welcome news for those eager to revisit the desolate though beautiful world the previous games are set in.
