Shadow Realms Rebooted, Launching in 2017 – Rumour

Remember Bioware Austin’s Shadow Realms, its online action role playing game that was revealed at Gamescom 2014 after a hefty stream of teasers? The PC-only title may have undergone a significant retooling since the deal of its closed alpha test that was to happen in October 2014.

According to Kotaku, while two sources claimed the game had been cancelled, a third “reliable” source revealed that Shadow Realms had actually been overhauled to integrate EA’s Origin services. Though the game was originally thought to be offered as a standalone client, Origin integration means that the developer will have access to more resources and financing.

That’s not all – Shadow Realms will also have a campaign mode along with a possible release on PS4 and Xbox One. Whatever the case may be, sources state that we won’t see the RPG until at least 2017.

Take this all with a grain of salt but it would explain the absence of any Shadow Realms-related news and happenings in the past few months. What are your thoughts on the same? Let us know in the comments.
