"Sony worldwide studio head Shuhei Yoshida has given the clearest indication yet that the firm is ramping up to the announcement of Fumito Ueda’s next game, confirming to VG247 that the PS3 project will be shown “soon.”

“I cannot tell,” said the exec was asked specifically if the new Team ICO game will be shown at Tokyo Game Show this year.

“But I can say that they’ve been working very hard since the release of Shadow of the Colossus.

“Soon you’ll see.”

Go on. TGS. You know you wan..."

"Ico and Shadow of the Colossus team lead Fumito Ueda has confirmed that his upcoming PS3 title has not yet reached the “critical” stage of production.

“I’m not feeling any pressure at the moment because time is not critical yet,” he said, talking in the latest edition of UK mag gamesTM.

“Production has not reached the critical stage. The company is very reasonable thanks to my achievements in the past. So, although I do get pressurised, that’s not happened yet [on the current project], ..."

"This is one of those rumors that appear to be quite thin on the surface, but as we so desperately want some news, we're inclined to tell ya about it: according to SCRAWL, they say a "truly...colossal secret" would be part of the issue. Obviously, this makes everyone think they're hinting at a project that relates to the fantastic SotC; perhaps a sequel of some kind. Of course, Resistance 2 will be the centerpiece for the August GamePro (they call it the "biggest game of 2008"), but the intere..."

"With all the excitement going on with PlayStation Day in Europe, we're going to turn your attention to another conference coming up soon. The Nordic Game 2008 conference. It's a little more technical of a conference, but it's still got some great developers giving speeches. Sony's own Fumito Ueda, creator of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus will be taking part in the "Game Creation and Technology" program. This program focuses on new game niches and continuing to innovate creatively."

"UPDATE #2: Sorry guys, this was a blatant rumor which began at a respectable source, N4G.com. The fact that they started this rumor and flamed it to the masses is disheartening to say the least. A member of the TeamICOGamers Blogspot has informed us that this is primarily a feature in relation to SotC and nothing more. I apologize to our readers personally for this misunderstanding.

UPDATE #1: Sorry that the image is currently not working guys. It's an issue with our media server. A..."

"There's a cryptic message over at Team ICO Gamers -- "The Giants are coming" with a tab in the upper-right of the website indicating only "February 10th". Does this have something to do with the next game by the developer? Or is it something much less exciting, like, say, a site redesign? They left it cryptic and vague, so we'll do the same by letting your imaginations run wild. Tomorrow we'll find out, we guess."

"What you're looking at is the world's first 'ICO 3' screenshot to be released. Sony has just revamped its careers section and changed the old sketches image with the one you see above. The posts still available are for planners, animators, artists and effects designers."
