Remember ECCO The Dolphin? Well, so does SEGA, and in a new press release shared today, the team behind the revival of this classic franchise have shared a little more detail on what’s next.
Today, developer ‘A&R Atelier’ have announced that a new ECCO the Dolphin game is in development. There’s not a huge amount known about in what form ECCO is set to return, but the team have shared that “in fact, several new Ecco the Dolphin products and games are currently in development.” You’ll be able to find out about new developments on these announcements on a dedicated ECCO the Dolphin website.
Aside from the fetching concept art above, the team share a little more in the ‘About’ section, saying:
“The team behind Ecco the Dolphin includes original creators from the classic games, alongside talented new team members who share a deep love and respect for this iconic franchise. Together, we’re dedicated to expanding the Ecco the Dolphin IP to the level it has always deserved.
We’re currently working on new Ecco games and products that honor the spirit of the original while bringing fresh experiences to both longtime fans and new players discovering Ecco’s epic world for the first time.
This website is run and monitored by the Ecco team. All official information about Ecco the Dolphin will be communicated here first. The site itself will continually evolve so please check back frequently.“
Chief Creative Officer of A&R Atelier Ed Annunziata shared his thoughts, saying “It has been years in the making and we’re honored to bring Ecco back. Ecco has always been more than a game about a dolphin—he’s a bridge between worlds.“
Ecco The Dolphin was first released way back in 1992, when I was just 8 years old. I remember it being gorgeous but also quite tricky, at least for my rudimentary skills at the time.
