He would do anything for love. Even slaying sixteen gargantuan beasts, in order to bring his girl back to life. But at what cost? With only his sword, bow, and horse to aid him, he’ll have to confront, climb, outwit, hang on, and destroy the colossi that roam the land. The PS2 hit returns in HD, along with new bonus content.
