Several new Ecco the Dolphin projects arein the works. We already knew that, and it has been reconfirmed via the About section on the series’ new website. The site lets you play through the final levels of the original Ecco the Dolphin, a game so confusing and difficult that not many people saw it.
Ecco fans noticed the new site appeared on Monday with a countdown timer in the corner. That timer expired last night, and the site is now live. It’s a real mix of cool and weird, which, now I think about it, is pretty fitting for Ecco.
The update on how development is going on Ecco’s new games is pretty normal, as is the new merch page. There are T-shirts, one of which features the original Genesis game’s cover art, posters that depict iconic scenes from that same game, and even a Tides of Time soundtrack on vinyl.
You can listen to even more Ecco music, as well as chats with the games’ developers, on the site’s media player.
It’s when you click Game that things start to get weird. You’d think the option would take you to a page providing more details about the next Ecco game, or history on the original and games that came after, but no. Clicking on Game takes you to a page where you can play through Welcome to the Machine right there in your browser.
Welcome to the Machine is the penultimate level in the original Ecco the Dolphin.
