When Sony announced that PS2 classic Shadow of the Colossus was getting the remake treatment, it almost felt like it came out of left field. The game had been remastered in 3D once before as a part of the ICO and Shadow of the Colossus collection on PS3, so it was surprising to hear that the game would be getting a complete overhaul built from the ground up on a new engine. And the studio behind the remake is actually Bluepoint Games, the team that remastered the game originally.

While none of the story content in Shadow of the Colossus will be changing in the remake, what will be changing is the addition of a modernized control scheme, which is being included to accommodate new players. These adjustments and updated visuals should make for an interesting way to re-experience Shadow of the Colossus even after all these years.
