![]() ![]() Publisher Deep Silver announced Wednesday that a new game in the time-traveling shooter series is in development at newly reformed Free Radical. ![]() TimeSplitters is finally getting a new game after 16 years and not only that, Free Radical Design the original. The TimeSplitters series is officially returning. It’s been in the works for a number of years with no release plans announced yet, but periodic updates from the creators suggest that it’s still trucking along. 311 Dislike Share MisterBo 28.8K subscribers Yep you read that right. That game includes an arcade machine in which you can play a couple of levels of the classic game, but it turns out that the full game is actually hidden in there too, tucked away behind some cheat codes that were uncovered earlier this year.Įlsewhere, work continues on TimeSplitters Rewind, an unofficial, fan-made “greatest hits” remake of the original games. Meanwhile, TimeSplitters fans can still enjoy TimeSplitters 2 on modern systems thanks to an easter egg in Homefront: The Revolution. 20 Mayo 2021 Han tenido que transcurrir más de dos años y medio, desde que Koch Media se hizo con los derechos de TimeSplitters y Second Sight, para que se haga ahora oficial el desarrollo del próximo TimeSplitters. That means the new TimeSplitters, whatever it turns out to be, is still a long way off, but it’s good to know that there’s something on the horizon. “While we cannot tell you anything more at the moment, we look forward to sharing information in the future.”ĭevelopment on the new game will begin soon, with the team currently focused on setting up its new studio in Nottingham. “To finally be able to confirm that the studio has been formed and that we have a plan for the next TimeSplitters game is incredible,” said Ellis. This reformed Free Radical brings back key members of the original team, including founders David Doak and Steve Ellis. TimeSplitters spawned two sequels, but financial difficulties saw Free Radical get sold, rebranded as Crytek UK, and ultimately shut down in 2014. But it was also backed by solid action, with a team founded by former Rare staff who’d previously worked on GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark for Nintendo 64. For the uninitiated, the TimeSplitters franchise was a first-person shooter series developed by Free Radical Design, which was staffed by ex-Rare employees behind GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark. The original TimeSplitters, released in 2000, put a comical twist on first-person shooters with its premise of each level being set in a different time period and a satirical approach to those settings. Today, Deep Silver (a division of Koch) officially announced that development is commencing soon on a new TimeSplitters, with a reformed Free Radical Design behind it. Koch Media acquiring the license in 2018 was cause for hope, but there’s been little to come from that-until now. TimeSplitters Rewind will also support X360 and PS3 gamepads, as well as mods and custom content – allowing players to fully customise their TimeSplitters experience like never before.TimeSplitters fans have long been wishing for a new game in this eclectic time travel first-person shooter series. The game won’t support split-screen due to CryEngine 3’s inability, however this mode may be added later on (if Crytek decides to implement such a feature in a new build of CryEngine 3’s SDK). Obviously, the team wants to create a proper HD version of TimeSplitters, so kudos to them. We plan to capture the look and feel of the game using Unreal Engine. While it’s not a reboot, remake or sequel – we’re simply working hard to capture everything that made the original games awesome and giving it the HD touch” The team behind it will recreate every asset of TimeSplitters, even though it was given access to the original assets of the game. TimeSplitters Rewind is a remake of the original games in the series. We are taking full advantage of the CryEngine 3 SDK, so while it looks great and runs extremely well – it will still *feel* like a TimeSplitters game. Project Manager Michael Hubicka said: “We are taking the best elements of all three games (multiplayer and challenges) and creating a whole new game. The bad news for our console brothers is that this title will be released only on the PC. ![]() The good news is that Crytek has approved a new TimeSplitters game that will be developed via CryEngine 3 and will be distributed for free. ![]() Well, we’ve got today some good and some bad news. We do know that a lot of console gamers desperately want a new TimeSplitters game. ![]()
