A 25-year-old Sega mascot, Ecco the Dolphin, is making a potential comeback. Sega has filed trademarks for ‘Ecco’ and ‘Ecco the Dolphin’ in Japan, hinting that an upcoming game may be in development.
Background on Ecco The Dolphin
The original Ecco The Dolphin was released in 1992 for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Master System, Game Gear, and Sega CD. It was followed with other titles such as ‘Ecco: The Tides of Time’ (1994) and ‘Ecco Jr.’ (1995), before transitioning to the Dreamcast in 2000 with ‘Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future’.
What Does This Mean for Fans and Gamers?
Is it trademark maintenance, or is Sega planning something more substantial? Only time will tell.
What do you hope that Sega include in new Ecco game?
Did…you play Ecco much? That game is terrifying, and in VR it would be intense.
I was just sitting here thinking about a movie adaptation a la sonic…
It turned into Aliens with a dolphin mo-capped by Sigourney Weaver…
I was just gonna say a remake of this game done right could be killer
Ecco the Dolphin in VR:
Fuck the vortex machine level.
