Fumito Ueda reveals details about his mysterious new project

Fumito Ueda, the man behind Ico, Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian has teased us with some mysterious pictures from his new game project, but hasn't given us very much context for these pictures.

Now, in an interview in the latest issue of Famitsu (via Gematsu) he has revealed a few tidbits about the project, including that it will have the same scope and scale as the two previous games, or that it might even be bigger. And he also emphasises that this is a brand new game, and not a sequel.

"We're in a stage of various trials. This stage we're in, where we're actually making our ideas to test if they're interesting or not, is being supported by Kowloon Nights, so we're proceeding with prototyping," Ueda says in the interview, according to Gematsu.

"We're working out the core parts first, and from there we'll make it into a stable product. That's our challenge this time. If larger-scale development becomes of interest to us, then I think we will significantly expand our development system and take it to a large-scale development team to make it a big game."

It doesn't sound like we're going to play this game any time soon, and given how long we were made to wait for The Last Guardian that's perhaps not unexpected.
