After much silence since it’s original revealing way back in 2006, FXLabs has announced that Archie’s Riverdale Run, an action-adventure racing hybrid based on the widely-known comic franchise, is raring to go and is currently looking for international publishers. Assuming companies will be interested in picking it up, maybe this also means we’ll actually get to see Dhoom 2.5 sometime this century. I always wondered what Road Rash would be like with a dance number!
