According to reliable sources in Japan, ICO 2 will see one of the strangest ever twists in a videogame. Indeed, the sequel to what is arguably one of the most interesting games housed on any current platform, will see a horse as a new playable character.

And that is it for now, aside from ICO 2 will take place in the original ICO game world, and will not just be set in a castle, but in other places too. Which makes sense really. Horses and castles may sound like they have perfect synergy, but those little stone stars can be a nightmare on the hooves.

We'll bring you more details on ICO 2 in the coming weeks.
