YouTube channel Did You Know Gaming‘s latest video looks at Shadow of the Colossus, one of the most popular titles released for Sony’s second console. The monster-climbing action game originally came out in 2005, and it also saw a remastered version released on the PlayStation 3 in 2011 (along with its predecessor, Ico).

Just like with Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, it is not a direct sequel, but the game will share thematic and visual similarities with developer Team Ico’s other projects.
