If you missed out on Shadow of the Colossus the first time, then you’re about to get a second chance to play one of the all-time greatest video games. Next month, Sony is dropping its Shadow of the Colossus remake in glorious high definition, with graphics that were remade from the ground up while retaining the gameplay. The heart of the game is also intact, as players battle the statuesque creatures known as the Colossi. And in the new story trailer for the remake, we see the hero’s dangerously self-destructive journey.
The trailer reintroduces us to Wander, a young man who recently lost his lover, Mono. To bring Mono back to life, Wander accepts a devil’s bargain to slaughter the sixteen remaining Colossi. They’re not evil creatures, but they won’t go down without a fight. But before he can go into battle, Wander will have to ride his horse across the land and seek out his targets.
Additionally, the developers of the remake have released a video that explains why they wanted to tackle this modern classic, while offering another tantalizing glimpse of the beautiful visuals of the game.
Shadow of the Colossus will be released exclusively for the Playstation 4 on Tuesday, February 6.
