SEGA Genesis classics Ecco the Dolphin and Ecco: The Tides of Time are being remastered for modern consoles, after which a brand new third game will enter development.
That’s according to series creator Ed Annunziata, who, in an interview with Xbox Wire, revealed: “Me and the entire original team are going to Remaster the original Ecco the Dolphin and Tides of Time games. Then we will make a new, third game with contemporary play and GPU sensibilities.”
There was no further information offered beyond that, other than asking everyone to stay tuned to an Ecco the Dolphin website, which has a countdown timer that ends in a year’s time.
Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future was the last game to be released in the series, on Dreamcast and PlayStation 2. Development began on a sequel, Ecco II: Sentinels of the Universe, but it was cancelled after SEGA made the decision to halt Dreamcast production.
