Shadow of the Colossus rumoured to be in development for PS3

The hardcore gamer’s top PS2 title of 2005, Shadow of the Colossus, is strongly rumoured to be in development for PS3.

Whilst European gamers wait patiently for the early 2006 release of Shadow of the Colossus on the PS2, Internet forums are alight today with eager gamers discussing a rumor that US magazine EGM has published, stating that the developers of what is surely a strong candidate for 2005’s game of the year, are already at work on the PS3 version.

The mere idea of fighting 16+ mountains, in bigger scale maps, with bigger colossi, all in glorious high-definition clarity is almost too much for some to take. The developers were also rumoured to state that you will be able to go online and tackle a colossus with a buddy. Yes. You read that correctly. The game will, so the rumours say, support full online, co-operative multiplay.

SPOnG will continue to get to the bottom of this rumour – as we are not entirely convinced that the hugely talented team behind both the ground-breaking ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, would merely give us a sequel to a current title. We secretly hope that they have something much bigger, better and genuinely next generation up their sleeves.
