It looks like they just moved Wander's arms down from a T-pose for the #ShadowoftheColossus remake platinum trophy icon. The bones on his waist can also be seen clipping into his tunic.

Fumito Ueda has done the dog with The Last Guardian, and now he's doing the robot with Gen ATLAS. The following is a transcript of a bonus content video included with the ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection on PS3.

A screenshot of a transcript. It reads:

Ueda: During the production of ICO, when we were thinking of the level design, I thought that it would be much easier if the AI character was a robot or a dog instead of a girl. There were things we couldn't make, because the character was a girl. This time, we can do more.

Hosono: Without making it seem like a prop.

Kaido: The animations, too.

Ueda: For The Last Guardian, of course at minimum, I don't want the AI companion to seem like just a tool for the player to use. In ICO, when you need to escort the girl to safety, you couldn't have it be too rough. So that was challenging, portraying that on screen. And we were hesitant to do that, too.

Hosono: Like jerking her arm.

Ueda: Or like pushing her. She's a girl, so we couldn't do those kind of interactions. But if she was a robot or a dog, we could show that and it would be pretty cool. We had those kinds of discussions back then. Now this time around, I think we can finally include some of those things.

For the longest time this was all we knew of Fumito Ueda's next game, now known as "gen ATLAS". The attached screenshot shows the "And more" section of GenDesign's website as it appeared in June 2015. I have included an edit of the screenshot for easier viewing.

The same as the previous image but edited for easier viewing.

On the album this track is called 記憶 or "Memories", although in the game files it is known as "save_point_05". This track would've been the "Heal" (ICO save theme) of #ShadowoftheColossus.

Using this, @jaikhay.bsky.social found another iteration of The Queen's design in that early demo (disc version dated June 6th, 2001). The headdress here is far more elaborate than even the feathered one seen in Game Informer's screenshots. And this is our best look at her tattered cloak of shadow.

The Queen stands below the Main Gate stage, suspended in air. Her headdress is like a blackened halo formed of thick lines running in an elaborate pattern. The edges fray like ink on a page and the extremities form a shape akin to a spider.

Her slender body is sheer black shadow, with only a very frayed and hole-riddled cloak over top of it. Her stark white face is the only part of her skin that can be seen.

A close up of The Queen's face. This earlier model resembles Yorda's face even more than the final build's.
