The Shadow of the Colossus PS4 disc is the ground-up remake of the acclaimed PlayStation 2 adventure, rebuilt by Bluepoint Games together with JAPAN Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It launched on 6 February 2018 in the US, and the European PlayStation page lists 7 February 2018. The genre is action-adventure. Sony calls it a masterpiece reborn: you cross a vast, quiet land on horseback, find 16 colossal creatures and defeat each one in a one-on-one battle. Bluepoint stresses this is not a port or simple remaster, but a complete rebuild.
Shadow of the Colossus PS4: Table of Contents
An Ancient Land and a Desperate Wish
Shadow of the Colossus tells its story with very few words. Sony’s official description sets it in an ancient realm where the Colossi roam the landscape. These giant creatures are bound to the land, and together they hold the key to a mystical power of revival. You need that power to bring a loved one back to life, and the only way to claim it is to find and bring down every Colossus. The world is wide and mostly empty, with ruins, forests, deserts and cliffs that you cross alone with your horse, Agro. That sense of solitude is a big part of the game’s emotional impact. The story unfolds slowly through what you do rather than long cutscenes, and it leaves players with plenty to think about after the credits roll.
Climb the Giant, Find the Weak Point
Armed with only a sword and a bow, you explore the land to track down each Colossus. Sony explains that every one presents a unique challenge that tests your wits, determination and skill. The core idea is simple and unforgettable: these creatures are huge, so you climb onto them, hold on while they try to shake you off, and search for the weak points that let you strike. Each fight is a puzzle as much as a battle, and there are no ordinary enemies between them, only the journey to the next giant. Sony also mentions optional updated controls alongside the classic feel. Bluepoint rebuilt the visuals from the ground up, and a built-in Photo Mode adds filters, colour balancing, depth of field, vignette and portrait rotation for capturing the scenery.
Single-Player, PS4 Pro Modes and Photo Mode
Shadow of the Colossus is a single-player game for 1 player, with no online multiplayer. According to the PlayStation Blog, PS4 Pro owners can choose a Cinematic mode, which targets a dynamic 4K image at 30fps on compatible 4K HDR displays, or a Performance mode that targets 60fps. Photo Mode lets you switch the camera between you and your horse, and some of its filters can stay active during normal play. The adventure is played entirely offline. No PlayStation Plus subscription is needed to play.
Retail Disc, Region and PS5
You receive a new, factory-sealed retail disc of Shadow of the Colossus for PS4. PS4 games are region-free, so the disc plays on any PS4 console. Sony states the game is playable on PS5, though some PS4 features may be absent; you need a PS5 with a disc drive. Delivered across the UAE in up to 3 business days, free on orders from AED 300.
Who This Is Not For
If you want constant action, this is not your game: there are no ordinary enemies, only 16 boss battles separated by long, quiet rides. The camera and climbing can feel demanding on some Colossi. There is no multiplayer, and the adventure is fairly short compared with modern open-world games. It is rated PEGI 12 and ESRB Teen for violence and blood.
