- Supporting API Creators in Gaming<\/strong>: Xbox continues to support and amplify API voices in the gaming industry, ensuring their stories and contributions inspire future generations and promote a deeper understanding of both cultural heritage and ocean conservation.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
The Pacific Islands are defined by the deep connection between the land, sea, and the people who call it home. The ocean isn\u2019t just a backdrop; it\u2019s central to the identity, culture, and spiritual life of Pacific Islander communities. However, with rising sea levels threatening these islands, this vital connection is at risk. Coastal erosion, infrastructure damage, and the loss of cultural heritage sites are just a few of the challenges these communities face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Through gaming, we have a unique opportunity to immerse ourselves in these cultures, raise awareness, and foster a collective commitment to preserving them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Games like Ecco the Dolphin<\/em> provide a way to engage players with environmental themes, teaching the importance of ocean conservation. Released in 1992, Ecco<\/em> allowed players to experience the wonders of the ocean, while also highlighting the need to protect marine ecosystems. This month, we\u2019re thrilled to share an exclusive interview<\/strong> with Ed Annunziata<\/strong>, where he announces a brand new Ecco the Dolphin<\/em> game in development and reflects on the inspiration behind Ecco<\/em> and the game\u2019s lasting impact on environmental storytelling in gaming.<\/p>\nFor creator Ed Annunziata, the goal was simple: \u201cI wanted to create a game that sparked curiosity and respect for the ocean.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Today, games like Tchia<\/em>, inspired by the creators\u2019 childhood in New Caledonia, carry on that message. The game lets players explore a beautiful island world filled with vibrant landscapes and cultural heritage, offering a unique window into the richness of Pacific Islander life hoping to inspire a deeper understanding of Pacific Islander culture and the need to protect these environments.\u00a0<\/p>\nXbox is proud to celebrate Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month by highlighting games that we hope inspire the next generation to take global action.

<\/figure>\nQ: Ecco the Dolphin <\/em>has been praised for raising awareness about ocean conservation. What inspired you to use a video game to communicate such an important environmental message, and what do you hope players take away from their experience in the ocean world you created?<\/strong>\u00a0
\u00a0
A: Long ago, back in the 8-bit days, I used to make educational games for the Apple II. I knew even then the potential of games to enlighten. I made a bunch of games in 6502 Assembler, or my favorite, Machine Language.<\/p>\nEventually, I got to work on \u2018Voyage of the Mimi\u2019, a TV show about a young boy (Ben Affleck at 12) and his grandfather, who studied whale migration on his boat, Mimi. It was a great <\/em>show, and I got to work on the Apple II science games that went along with it.<\/p>\nOnce I started learning about whales (and making games about them), I became obsessed with the subject matter. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Ecco-44e4f5f60f7c4cc3e97e-300x400.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nI read everything I could get my hands on. No internet, only libraries and books that I purchased from bookstores. Like the novel, \u2018The Sounding\u2019, by Hank Searls. This story was from the point of view of a sperm whale. I was enthralled by the notion that not only were these creatures sentient but probably as smart as we are!\u00a0<\/p>\n
My heart was always in video games, even though I made learning games for a living at the time. I started to dream about a game where you experience life as a dolphin. I chose a dolphin because I figured it\u2019s as close to a person as all the whales. But when I considered the actual play mechanics, I had to prototype it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Q: The Pacific Islander community holds a deep spiritual and practical connection to the ocean, which is central to their culture. How do you think games like Ecco the Dolphin<\/em> can help players understand the significance of ocean preservation and the cultures that rely on it?<\/strong><\/p>\nA: Imagine a culture connected directly to the ocean\u2019s ecosystems over generations. Growing and evolving together, humans contribute to the ecosystem rather than taxing it. Over time, they would learn about all the ocean cycles and how to get into sync with them. Anything that fosters a connection between humans and the ocean should be enthusiastically embraced.\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Ecco-2-17dc4d3516c87213b597-300x281.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nQ: As a pioneer in the gaming industry, what role do you think the gaming community plays in raising awareness about global issues like environmental sustainability, particularly when it comes to protecting ocean ecosystems?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\nA: If I may be forthright with my bias about gamers. I feel gamers possess a higher than average IQ than the average human. Not only because they are frequently fully engaged and challenged mentally with real-time systems and information technology, but they are highly socially connected as well. Like the ocean, a gaming community is an ecosystem \u2013 games like Ecco can and should be a conduit to join these realms.<\/p>\n
A big part of the game is understanding the ocean as a singular biological system that is made up of systems that interact with each other. This is a complex biological dance that humans can be a part of. \u00a0<\/p>\n
I have high expectations of gamers for all the above-stated reasons. But there is something else gamers possess that can make the difference, and that is love. A universal love of games and gaming gives us all something we all share, when games like Ecco reach the hearts of gaming communities, that love can really make things happen in the real world. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Q: What does the future hold for gaming\u2019s favorite Dolphin?<\/strong> <\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\nA: Me and the entire original team are going to Remaster the original Ecco the Dolphin<\/em> and Tides of Time<\/em> games. Then we will make a new, third game<\/strong> with contemporary play and GPU sensibilities.\u00a0Stay tuned to eccothedolphin.com<\/a><\/p>\nGaming\u202fwith Impact\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\nRewards members in the United States can earn and donate points to organizations supporting Asian and Pacific Islander communities with Xbox.
