Unfortunitely, Ico will not have a sequel. I'm Sad about that... but read this article to be happy again! This is the Gossip column in OPM, so some of it could be crap, but I believe 'em --->
"Only 70,000 of you bought Ico. What a crying shame. What were you all thinking? More than 10 times that number of you have splashed out for the awful State of Emergency- in a tenth of the time, too. There's no accounting for taste. Anyway, due to the fact that many of you weren't interested in playing something genuienly new and different, plans for a sequel to Ico have been scrapped. Thanks a bunch. The development team is instead working on a completely new franchise that tackles some of the same themes. If they had any commercial sense and no creative instincts, they'd obviously ditch all that touchy feely crap and make a game where you run around hitting people with telephone boxes or something. Thank goodness they're artists, tough- and I for one can't wait to see what theyre working on. Members of the team were recently spotted at the Grand Canyon gathering images for research."
For those of you who didn't feel like reading that article, pretty much there's no Ico 2 because of poor sales, but there will be a whole new game from the creators. It's auctually a relief to see an entire new idea instead of more sequels (although sequels are great most of the time).
R.I.P Ico & Yorda :D
