First released for the Sega Genesis, Ecco the Dolphin is an iconic video game franchise that brought underwater adventure to life. Known for its innovative Metroidvania gameplay mechanics, haunting soundtrack, and environmental themes, the series has inspired generations of gamers and musicians worldwide.

While specific details are still under wraps, A&R Atelier (a developer founded by veteran game developers, including the original creators of Ecco the Dolphin) is pleased to share that, in fact, several new Ecco the Dolphin products and games are currently in development. Information regarding these upcoming projects and partnerships will be announced at EccoTheDolphin.com as developments unfold.

"It has been years in the making and we're honored to bring Ecco back," said Ed Annunziata, Chief Creative Officer of A&R Atelier. "Ecco has always been more than a game about a dolphin—he's a bridge between worlds."

Additionally, A&R Atelier has launched the official Ecco the Dolphin Discord server, where fans and newcomers can connect with developers and join the community hub for all things Ecco. The community will receive exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and early looks at what's to come.
