Sega Trademarks May Hint at Return of Classic Franchise
Initially released in December 1992 for the Sega Genesis, the first “Ecco the Dolphin” game was a breakout success due to its captivating sci-fi storyline, distinctive gameplay, and immersive underwater environment. Over time, it spawned four additional titles: “Ecco: The Tides of Time,” “Ecco Jr,” “Ecco Jr. and the Great Ocean Treasure Hunt,” and “Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future.” The latter was introduced in 2000 for both the Sega Dreamcast and PlayStation 2, with the intention of updating the series. Despite a dedicated fanbase’s support, “Ecco the Dolphin” has remained silent since then, leaving fans speculating about its potential comeback.
