Ico and Shadow of the Colossus director Fumito Ueda's next game is about a boy and a mech, and it's predictably gorgeous

The last mech, is it?

During The Game Awards 2024, we got a very brief first look at the next game from Ico and Shadow of the Colossus director Fumito Ueda. As you might expect, it looks absolutely gorgeous, but there's a whole lot we don't know yet.

The trailer is brief and mysterious, but it certainly fits with Ueda's propensity for making games about a boy who can climb on things. This time, the kid is climbing on a big ol' mech, whose head we see lifting into the air and flying off toward some mysterious threat.

The new game does not yet have a title, but it's in development at genDesign and will be published by Epic Games Publishing. If you're looking for details beyond that, well... you're not getting them today. Given how long the previous games in this lineage took to come to fruition, I suspect we're going to have quite a wait for further word on this one, too.

But Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian are all critical darlings and beloved cult classics, so whatever form this new game takes, it's likely going to be worth the wait. Notably, all of those previous games had been PlayStation exclusives, but with this new title being published by Epic, it seems likely we'll get a multiplatform release - though PC gamers might wanna make their piece with not getting it on Steam right now.

If you're looking for a full guide to all the big video game release dates, you know exactly where to click.
