I have tried to research an answer to this question but Google comes out nada.

I am in a position where I can fund my indie game, instead of relying on rev-share work. However, my sound designer is on a revenue-share basis but I do love his sound design, and I want to start paying him for his work.

The problem is - I have changed my indie game from a platformer to an RPG, so the existing sound effects that he made wouldn't be used.

Is it possible to move such an arrangement, and has it been done before?

Those are the wrong questions. The question you should be asking is "how." The answer is "with a lawyer's help."

If you've changed the project completely and aren't using any of the old work, it sounds like you can probably just make a new agreement...

If you've previously put things in writing Tom is correct though: ask your lawyer.
