Ecco 2: Sentinels of the Universe

About

This title represents an unfinished sequel to Ecco the Dolphin that survived on a development kit from the final days of the Dreamcast. You can load the discs and access a few playable levels through the built-in level select menu. The team also included a fully working debug mode for testing purposes, though the audio files are missing entirely. It feels more like a technical artifact than a finished product since no music or sound effects play during gameplay. The discovery of this build by Hidden Palace in 2016 brought attention to what might have been the next step for the franchise before Sega shifted focus. We have no details on the intended story or how the plot would have progressed from the first game. The project remains a fascinating glimpse into cancelled Dreamcast history rather than a standard adventure experience. Players today mostly explore it out of curiosity about what was lost when production stopped.
