Last May, an Xbox Wire post announced Ecco The Dolphin<\/a> would be making a comeback with a remaster of not only the first game, but also the sequel Tides of Time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Platforms weren’t mentioned at the time, but a new two-page spread for the remaster in Famitsu this week lists the Switch – seemingly confirming the remaster is on its way to Nintendo’s hybrid platform.<\/p>\n

Additional details have also been shared by the series creator Ed Annunziata in this feature. As highlighted by Nintendo Everything, the plan is to include 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit versions in a single package, and allow players to swap between visual styles in “real-time”.<\/p>\n

The final name of this project is still being decided, but the favourite at the moment appears to be “Ecco Complete”. Of course, this is all subject to localisation changes.<\/p>\n

In case you missed it, these remasters will also be joined by a “new, third game”<\/a> at some stage. More updates related to Ecco are expected to take place this April, according to an official Ecco the Dolphin countdown website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As we’ve previously mentioned, the original Ecco the Dolphin game, which launched in 1992 on the Sega Mega Drive \/ Genesis, is playable via the Switch Online + Expansion Pack.<\/p>\n

Are you looking forward to Ecco’s return? Tell us in the comments.<\/p>\n
