And just in case there&#8217;s any doubt, no, this is not a joke: The timer was linked in an official <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/2025\/05\/05\/xbox-asian-pacific-islander-heritage-month-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\">Xbox interview<\/a> with original Ecco the Dolphin producer Ed Annunziata.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Me and the entire original team are going to remaster the original Ecco the Dolphin and Tides of Time games,&#8221; Annunziata says. &#8220;Then we will make a new, third game with contemporary play and GPU sensibilities.

But the series has been moribund for the past 25 years, and an effort to fund a new Ecco-like on Kickstarter in 2013, called <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/annunziata\/the-next-ecco-the-dolphin-adventure-game\/description\" target=\"_blank\">The Big Blue<\/a>, fell far short of its goal.
