A new action-adventure from a trio of US developers looks to have been heavily influenced by Team Ico classic Shadow of the Colossus.

According to No Matter Studios, Prey for the Gods is a brutal journey set on a desolate frozen island, where your only chance of survival is to destroy the very gods you believe in.

“In Prey for the Gods, you play a lone hero sent to the edge of a dying world to discover the mystery behind a never-ending winter.

“Arriving with only the clothes on your back, you must survive the colossal dangers that you encounter.

“To restore balance and reclaim the land from the brink, you will be faced with questions that not even a God knows the answer to.”

No Matter is based in San Francisco, and is comprised of three lone developers that according to the game’s site are working in the evening hours to create the game they’ve always wanted.

“With the simple goal to create colossal moments we’ve set forth on our labor of love Prey for the Gods,” it reads.

The game is in development for PC and Mac.
