Project Robot could be a direct sequel to Shadow of the Colossus, Ico and Last Guardian.

Hear me out.

In the trailer for Project Robot we see a character wearing the same loose fitted style poncho type clothing as Wander from SotC but we cannot see their face as it's covered by a helmet.

We see they have a giant metal robot that they climb on top of before looking out into the ocean where a ton of darkness, much like the darkness that comes out of the Colossi when Wander kills one of them, is coming straight towards them.

Now we know that the horned boy from Ico, named Ico lol, is technically Wander himself reborn.

What if this character from Project Robot is Wander/Ico and is now trapped in this futuristic world with the darkness, who is actually Dormin that has grown incredibly powerful, and is trying his best to put an end to what he unleashed all those years ago.

The events of Ico and The Last Guardian were started by the ending of SotC after Wander, unknowingly, broke Dormin free from within the Colossi.

What if this new Wander/Ico is trying to fix what he did oh so many years ago by creating these giant robotic Colossi that has the ability to absorb bits of the darkness/Dormin himself therefore locking away pieces of him just as he was inside the original 16 Colossi from SotC.

So now our new mission would be putting all the dark pieces of Dormin back inside 16 robotic Colossi sealing him away forever and putting an end to his reign of terror that he has spread over these last 3 games: SotC, Ico and TLG.

I think that would actually be a phenomenal storyline and honestly a wonderful end to the series to finally put all the pieces of Dormin back inside 16 Colossi sealing him away for eternity.

Because the character could have full control over the robots and could essentially just shut them down or lock them away somewhere or even send them to the bottom of the ocean where they could never be found by anybody and Dormin's power could never be released again.

I think it would be really cool if they allowed us to play as Wander again and it would explain how the main character would know to build the giant robot Colossus.

And for those wondering how the battles would take place and how you would battle darkness I'll explain that too.

Each piece of Dormin's darkness would take on a physical form of basically giant shadow creatures as tall as the Colossi themselves. This is why the reincarnated Wander had to build giant robots to fight back against these giant shadow creatures. Once he defeats them using some type of light source/light power from the robots he can then absorb the weakened darkness fragments of Dormin and store them inside the robot colossi.

Then he could seal away these robots or maybe even at the end of the game he could drain all the darkness that he's sealed inside of these giant robots and put them inside of some magical small box or weapon or some item or even a host body, such as a deceased individual whom he could have locked up and immobilized by magic to keep an evil spirit trapped inside, and he then has to deliver the object with Dormin's darkness inside back to the Forbidden Lands from SotC and send him back to whence he came.

I honestly really like this idea and I would love to see it actually be the case because getting to play as Wander once again would be really cool especially in this new futuristic setting.
