Echo the Dolphin makes its return! The original development crew is working on updating the initial installments of the series (Ecco The Dolphin and The Tides of Time), along with crafting an entirely new chapter for the franchise.
The latest announcement about this project came through an Xbox Wire blog post, where the series’ original creator, Ed Annunziata, shared that the team responsible for creating the games released in ’92 and ’94 will be back to oversee the remastering of both titles.
After finishing these projects, they will move on to creating the third installment of the franchise, ensuring it aligns with current gaming trends and advanced GPU capabilities.
The Ecco the Dolphin series is well-known and associated with the SEGA Genesis and Dreamcast consoles, having released four games from 1992 to 2000. After Tides of Time was published in 1994, a spin-off aimed at children called Ecco Jr. came out in 1995. In the year 2000, there was a complete overhaul of the series with Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future for the Dreamcast.
All the games in the series, except for “Defender of the Future,” were created by Novotrade, under the leadership of Ed Annunziata. The Dreamcast reboot was developed by Appaloosa Interactive. Therefore, when Ed mentions a third game in the series, it’s probably excluding “Ecco Jr” (which is actually a prequel) and the reboot, as Novotrade wasn’t involved in those developments.
If you haven’t experienced Ecco The Dolphin before, let me tell you that it offers some truly unusual encounters. At first glance, it may seem like a simple, entertaining game for children, but in truth, Ecco is a dolphin character who travels through time. Instead of a typical kid-friendly adventure, the game involves battling aliens and mysterious ocean creatures to save the world along the way.
Personally, it’d be fantastic to imagine a contemporary take on a third Ecco the Dolphin game. I can hardly wait for updates from the development team, which should start rolling in around a year, if the timer on their official website is anything to go by.
