Ecco the Dolphin creator wants to make a new game in the series, meeting with SEGA
Ecco the Dolphin has been dormant for many, many years. More than a decade later, it looks like there’s a chance that it could be making a return.
Ed Annunziata, the creator of the series, has expressed interest in returning to the IP.
Annunziata posted the following on Twitter a few days ago:
Ecco fans, I need you to follow & tweethank @scottfoe, he convinced SEGA to meet with me now chances of a new Ecco the Dolphin x100!

For those wondering, Scott Foe was with SEGA when the Dreamcast was out on the market. As shown in the tweet above, it was Foe who apparently encouraged SEGA to meet with Annunziata about a revival.
If SEGA does approve a return to Ecco the Dolphin, composer Spencer Nilsen could be involved. Annunziata wrote on Twitter that Nilsen “is on board”, but it isn’t entirely clear if SEGA has officially given the go-ahead just yet.
