Ecco the Dolphin Returns With Complete Collection and New Game

A website countdown teases the next update, with platforms and release timing still unannounced.

Overview

  • Ecco the Dolphin: Complete, which was announced Wednesday by A&R Atelier in partnership with Sega, bundles remasters of all versions of the first two games with a brand-new contemporary title.
  • Series creator Ed Annunziata leads the project as original composition, art, and programming staff reunite more than 30 years after the 16-bit classics.
  • The package adds built-in speedrun tools, achievements, online leaderboards, cross-game “meta quests,” and a mode to create and share custom level routes.
  • No platforms or release window were named, and the official website now hosts a countdown that points to the next round of details.
  • Coverage highlights a focus on the 8- and 16-bit era, with no mention of Ecco Jr. or Dreamcast-era Defender of the Future, capping a revival Annunziata has pursued since a 2016 settlement with Sega.
