ECHO, a sci-fi action stealth game, revealed

ECHO—a third person science fiction action stealth game—has been revealed by Ultra Ultra, a new independent development studio from Denmark. ECHO will tell the story of a girl named En, who spent a century in stasis to travel to a mysterious and dangerous place called the Palace. There, “she hopes to bring back a life that shouldn’t have been lost” but, obviously, her quest is far from easy. According to Ultra Ultra, ECHO starts out as a character-driven “journey of discovery”, although with progress it becomes more challenging, focusing on action and stealth. Sadly, the plot’s description is a little vague and doesn’t reveal much more both about the game world or its protagonist. Check out the announcement trailer below to get a sense of what ECHO looks like.

ECHO, built on Unreal Engine 4, has been in works since March, 2015. The final product is slated for release for PC this fall. For the moment, however, the game awaits being greenlit in the Steam Greenlight program.

Ultra Ultra is a new development studio based in Copenhagen, Denmark. ECHO will be their debut production. The majority of the studio’s core crew, which comprises 8 people, are former employees of IO-Interactive, the creators of the cult Hitman series.
