Forgotten 90s Sega series could be making a comeback at Xbox Direct hints rumour As theories swirl on what the upcoming Xbox showcase’s mystery reveal is, Sega is found to have filed new trademarks for one of its dormant IPs.
Published by Sega and developed by the now defunct Hungarian studio Appaloosa Interactive, Ecco The Dolphin was a series of action adventure games than ran from 1992 to 2000, where you explored the ocean as the titular dolphin.
Now, there’re rumblings of Sega plotting another retro revival, thanks to newly discovered trademarks the company filed for Ecco The Dolphin.
The original 2D game for the Mega Drive did well enough to spawn a couple of sequels and eventually a 3D reboot for the Dreamcast in 2001, but the series has been dead in the water ever since.
In 2016, according to a GamesBeat report, Ecco creator Ed Annunziata filed a lawsuit against Sega in an effort to reclaim control of the IP.
