2001

This is a sub-page of Prerelease:Shadow of the Colossus (2005).

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Is there more info about this phase of development? If not, it probably doesn't deserve its own page.

Following the Sept. 24th, 2001 release of its eponymous first title, Ico on PlayStation 2, Team Ico wasted no time in conceptualizing the game that would eventually become Shadow of the Colossus.

September#

During September of 2001, concepts for two types of games were presented to the Team Ico staff; namely, a "boy game" and a "girl game". The former, with heavy action attributes, was ultimately adopted as their next project.¹
