Are Shadow of the Colossus and ICO connected?

Shadow of the Colossus is considered a spiritual sequel to Ico, and later stated by its creator, Fumito Ueda, to be a prequel set in the same world as Ico.

Did Shadow of the Colossus sell well?

Shadow of the Colossus’s commercial reception was positive, with sales of 140,000 copies in its first week at retail in Japan, reaching number one in the charts. Almost 80% of the initial Japanese shipment was sold within two days.

Is Shadow of the Colossus better on PS4?

It looks great even on a launch PS4, and even better on a Pro. The frame rate no longer buckles in the presence of a particularly massive colossus, and when you set it to performance mode on a PS4 Pro it even maintains 60 frames per second with minimal sacrifices in quality.

Is ICO and Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian connected?

ICO and SOTC have a fairly direct connection. Not only has Fumito Ueda confirmed that SOTC is a prequel to ICO, but it’s easy to surmise at the end of SOTC how ICO connects; Wander is reborn as an infant with horns, which presumably started the line of horned boys which end up being sacrificed in ICO.

Is the last guardian a sequel to ICO?

The Last Guardian does not seem to have as concrete a connection to the other two games. Unless Ueda gives us some more hints in an interview, it’s all just speculation and none of it is cannon. Thus far, all Ueda has stated is that TLG is in the same world as SOTC and ICO, but is separated by “distance and time.”

Did ICO or Shadow of the Colossus first?

Yes, they are. Shadow of the Colossus is a prequel to ICO, set in the same world. In addition, Shadow of the Colossus explains some of the story from ICO. So I would recommend playing Shadow of the Colossus before starting ICO.

It’s also important to look at the connection between Ico and Wander. At the end of Shadow of the Colossus, Wander is reborn as a child with horns. In Ico, there is a curse that has haunted a tribe of people for untold years, where certain young individuals would grow horns.
