Even with this change, players will still have the ability to experience the game with its original feel, as Yoshida went on to add, "of course you can play with a feel of the original version, but what we're doing is showing how great the original work is, using today's technology."
Bluepoint Games, the studio behind the HD remasters of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus for PS3, is developing the remake. Meanwhile, according to Yoshida, the game's creator, Fumito Ueda, "wasn’t that involved much this time." Ueda's latest title, The Last Guardian, was released this past December. Shadow of the Colossus was unveiled for PlayStation 4 during Sony's E3 2017 press conference, alongside a 2018 release window.
