It appears that SEGA has recently secured a trademark for Ecco the Dolphin, leading many to speculate that a remake or new game featuring our aquatic hero could be on the horizon. With this news, long-time fans of Ecco have begun to stir from their slumber, and the creator of the franchise, Ed Annunziata, has fueled excitement by sharing a 2.5D GIF demonstrating a modernized version of Ecco the Dolphin. This sneak peek has sent waves of anticipation rippling through the fan community!
On X, Ed Annunziata published a GIF without any accompanying text. The GIF depicts Ecco swimming tail-first on the water among other dolphins. Although it’s just a straightforward GIF share, it has sparked significant excitement among fans eagerly awaiting Ecco’s return.
Ed Annunziata once attempted to crowdfund a project that could be seen as a successor to Ecco, his beloved creation, years before. However, he later realized that the project should not merely be a successor but rather a continuation of Ecco himself. Since then, he has been patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity to bring back his cherished character, as he stated in an interview, expressing his determination not to let go of Ecco.
Some enthusiastically anticipate diving back into Ecco, while others propose a game that carries on the spiritual legacy of Ecco could be more appealing. While both ideas have their merits, it’s important to note that SEGA has trademarked “Ecco” and “Ecco the Dolphin”, not “Recco the Dolphin” as some might suggest.
Ecco the Dolphin hasn’t appeared in a game since 2000, when Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future was released on Dreamcast. Although it was also ported to PlayStation 2, that has been the last time we’ve encountered the charming dolphin in gaming platforms.
2025 stands a strong chance of being a highly anticipated year for gamers, with a potential Switch 2 release, a new Pokemon game, and an Ecco the Dolphin title on the horizon. These exciting developments could catapult 2025 into the ranks of the best years in gaming history.
