Normally, GamePro is hesitant to report a rumor, since so many of them turn out to be false. However, when two separate developments point to the validity of rumor, it’s a bit of a different situation. Said rumor is also one that any sane gamer would love to see come to pass — that Team Ico’s PS2 titles (Ico and Shadow of the Colossus) will join the ranks of the God of War collection and the upcoming Sly Collection on the PlayStation 3.

Earlier today, VG247 pointed out a listing on the French version of Amazon.com for The Team ICO Collection, a PS3 exclusive title due in June 2011. On the more official side of the spectrum, Sony Europe revealed the box art for the fall-due Sly Collection (shown to the right), which bears branding for what seems to be a new line of PS3 games — “HD Classics.” Joystiq discovered that the line will also incorporate the already-released God of War Collection, and that the two games are the only titles in the series “thus far.” Any video game line worth its salt consists of more than two titles, which could mean that more PS2 franchises — like Team Ico’s titles — could be HD-bound.
