NICO remodel was the first major undertaking by fans to improve upon the original, PS2 release of Shadow of the Colossus. Like Beyond the Forbidden Lands, the project is fan-made and exists as a non-profit title. It was developed for the PC.
While it is currently on hold, NICO remodel is by no means abandoned. It still has a strong, calm, and loving community supporting the project, and the sole developer still interacts with the community and plans on returning to it in the future.

About the name[]
"Nico" (stylized "NICO") was a working title for Shadow of the Colossus during the game's early development and was used until the final title was released. ICO was Shadow's predecessor and Fumito Ueda's first title, so with "Ni" as Japanese for the number two, "Nico" implied that Shadow was a sort of "second Ico". In a continuation of referencing Ico in a game's working title, Ueda's third game The Last Guardian used "Trico", both implying that is was a third Ico and revealing the name of one of its protagonists. Thus, the name for the NICO remodel is in keeping with this tradition.
