One 12 months Countdown Clock Is Teasing Ecco The Dolphin’s Return

Ecco The Dolphin is again, child! Nicely…can be again. Is coming again. Look, you’re going to have to attend mainly a full calendar yr earlier than you may play remastered variations of the primary two video games and be taught extra a couple of new sequel from the unique creator of the sequence.

Launched in 1992 on the Sega Genesis, Ecco the Dolphin was a famously tough and unusual 2D action-adventure sport starring a dolphin who should journey the ocean and time to cease evil aliens from destroying the world whereas saving his pod of fellow bottlenose dolphins. Yeah, bizarre stuff. The sport acquired a sequel in 1994, which (spoilers) ended with Ecco gaining access to a time machine and leaving for some unknown level in historical past. Whereas the video games had been odd, that they had numerous followers and now the creator behind them, Ed Annunziata, has shared that remasters of these video games are on the way in which, together with a brand new sequel.

In a Could 5 interview with Xbox, Annunziata talked about his inspiration for creating Ecco after which gave a small tease for the way forward for the franchise, telling followers to “keep tuned” and additional explaining: “Me and all the authentic workforce are going to remaster the unique Ecco the Dolphin and Tides of Time video games. Then we are going to make a brand new, third sport with modern play and GPU sensibilities.”

Within the interview, Annunziata inspired followers of the franchise to go to EccoTheDolphin.​com. You could be anticipating a teaser or maybe a bit extra information about these upcoming remasters and the subsequent sport within the Ecco sequence. Nicely, there’s nothing like that on the location. As an alternative, for those who head over there you’ll be greeted by a countdown clock that received’t hit 0 for an additional 8,528 hours or about 355 days, also referred to as mainly a full yr.

I’ve seen online game advertising and marketing countdown clocks earlier than, however often they’re for every week or two on the most. Extra typically it’s only for a number of days. The concept of doing a one-year countdown clock for remasters of Ecco the Dolphin is wild. I imply, I suppose it labored since you’re studying a weblog in regards to the countdown clock and the remasters proper now. However I’m unsure this fanbase has the vitality to be excited for a yr. Anyway, hopefully I’ll be again in 350 days or so to share a cool trailer for Ecco The Dolphin Remastered. See you then!
