Wednesday, May 7th, 2025

Limited Run Games have revealed they are publishing the new Mega Drive shoot em up Earthion, which has been developed by Makoto Wada and Yuza Koshiro at Ancient. Currently the game is only available for PC via Steam, PS4, PS5, Switch and Xbox Series X|S, but with the game being developed on real Mega Drive hardware I think it’s safe to say a proper Mega Drive version is on the cards at some point in the future.

You can wishlist the game on Steam which currently lists a “coming soon” release date.

An announcement trailer has also gone live which you can view via the embed below:

Earthion will feature 8 stages of Mega Drive shmup action and a soundtrack composed by Yuzo Koshiro of Streets of Rage fame.

The original Ecco the Dolphin was released on the Mega Drive in 1992 and developed by Novotrade. Ed Annunziata worked as the designer, while László Szenttornyai directed the game. The same team would also develop Ecco: The Tides of Time which originally released for Mega Drive in 1994.
