It's no secret that ICO and Shadow of the Colossus creator Fumito Ueda will be speaking at GDC this month, but now I have good news about Team ICO's next project. Not only will it be revealed at GDC (if everything goes according to plan), but we'll also get a trailer and gameplay at E3 2009.

Insiders state that Team ICO's big secret project has remained secret mostly because it has been without an official title for about 5 months, and the Team, along with Sony, wanted to build tension. With a horde of great games on slate through March of 2010, Sony has been working hard at keeping Team ICO's project low key, as to keep from drowning the hype train prematurely.

While the game is not expected to release until Fall of 2010, it looks like we'll finally get to place our eyes on the prize that Team ICO has been hiding for so long.

But that's not all! Team ICO will not be alone at E3. God of War will be there and playable to fans, revealing much about Sony's proud new gameplay mechanics. Heavy Rain will be showing us gameplay from the actual story arc.

It looks like Sony isn't just showing up to E3 this year, but that it'll be Sony who brings it. (Why does it have to be so far away?)

UPDATE: My inside source has just informed me that some changes for Ueda's speech have been completed, and mention of Team ICO's new game has been removed. While Ueda may still ad lib about the title, or hint about it to press, it is no longer part of his speech. But don't worry because Team ICO is still a go for E3. I've been informed that their appearance at E3 is not as easy to change as a speech. So that's great news.
