...the sequel to the cult PS2 adventure game ICO, entitled Wanda and the Giant Statue, has finally been announced. The title, developed by an internal Sony Japan studio, has been rumored under development for some time under the name NICO.

Yep, awesome. It won't be an ordinary sequel though, there's supposedly very hard to find similarities between the two games except for the graphical style and such. It seems like it'll be much more action oriented, and the purpose of the game will be to defeat all these Giant Statues. They differ a lot, and the battles are often like puzzles themselves, if I understood it correctly.

Anyway, I'm quiet pleased that it won't be a straightforward sequel to ICO. I'm still expecting it to be great, since Ueda is an awesome game designer, and he's got a good team. I'm very excited.

Just noticed the other thread.

Oh well, I guess this is the official confirmation.
