"This August, I left Sony Computer Entertainment," Kaido wrote <a href="https://twitter.com/kenji_kaido/status/240091725295652864">on Twitter</a> (via <a href="http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2012/08/kenji-kaido/">Game|Life</a>). He said he has no plans for now ... aside from continuing his summer vacation.<br /><br />Despite his silence, it sounds like Kaido knows where he's headed next. "I'm also excited about whatever I'm going to be doing next," Kaido said in response to a tweet from fellow Japanese game designer Masahiro Sakurai (of Smash. Bros. fame). It's unclear whether Kaido worked on Team Ico's latest project, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/the-last-guardian"><em>The Last Guardian</em></a>, or what work he's done since shipping <em>Shadow of the Colossus</em> in in 2005.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/27/ico-and-shadow-of-the-colossus-producer-kenji-kaido-leaves-sony/">Ico and Shadow of the Colossus producer Kenji Kaido leaves Sony</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 27 Aug 2012 13:45:00 EST.
