While the potential sequel may have been a tantalizing concept for fans of BioWare, Rhodes dates Revolver as being worked on from 2005-2008, so don’t expect this project to get resurrected a🀅nytime soon.

So why did Rhodes decide to upload these pieces now? Well, he explains on ArtStation: “It wa🅺s recently revealed in more detail in the book Bioware: Stories and Secrets from 25 Years of Game Development. To celebrate, I sifted through the archives and blew 15 years of dust off some of my favorite pieces from that project.”

The book in question delves into Revolver in more detail, revealing the game was set to be an open-world affair, with an emphasis on action. The studio eventually shifted focus to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dragon Age: Origins and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mass Effect 2, which weren’t so bad, to be fair. And with Bioware currently focusing on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dragon Age 4, here’s hoping we’ll be seeing more of Rhodes’ work sooner rather than la🗹terꦛ.

Speaking of Bioware, don't forget that the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mass Effect Legendary edition is launching this year.
