Of course, that hasn’t stopped people from talking, and in the past there have even been rumors of an alternate ending—or even a series of endings—that players could unlock. But is it real?

Is There an Alternate Ending?

The short answer here is no. There isn’t any type of alternate ending in Shadow of the Colossus. Bluehole, the developers responsible for the PlayStation 4 remaster of the game had a chance to add in their own takes, but they wanted to keep the game as true to the original as they possibly could. Of course, some things along the way have changed—including some hidden collectibles—but all in all it’s still very much the same game that was originally released by the team on the PlayStation 2.
