A recent batch of trademarks filed by Sega suggests another classic video game series could be set to make a return.
As spotted by Gematsu, Sega filed two trademarks towards the end of last month. Those trademarks? “Ecco the Dolphin” and “Ecco”.
The filings were made in Japan on 27th December, before they were subsequently made public yesterday.
Ecco the Dolphin was released all the way back in 1992 for the Sega Mega Drive (or Genesis, for those over the pond).
As I am sure you have no doubt figured, the game stars a dolphin by the name of Ecco. Our poor lead gets separated from his pod at the start of the game, and as such must find his way through the waters to reunite with them. This sees (or seas) Ecco negotiating underwater cave systems while booping jelly fish and such out of his way. Ecco eventually comes across other unexpected areas and creatures, but I will keep those as a surprise for those who don’t already know.
