Fans have been pining for the return of the cult favourite shooter series TimeSplitters for a long time, and now Deep Silver has given them what they wanted. Not only has the publisher reformed Free Radical Design (which created the series), but has announced that the team is beginning work on a new TimeSplitters game!
Per Gematsu, the resurrected Free Radical Design will begin work on the new TimeSplitters game “in the coming months”. The new Free Radical Design team is made up key members of the original team, including founders Steve Ellis and David Doak.
In a press release, Deep Silver global brand and marketing director Paul Nicholls stated “It’s this unique style that earned the TimeSplitters series a large and passionate following who will, without doubt, be excited by the formation of Deep Silver’s latest studio and will look forward to learning more as the franchise moves forward.”
Steve Ellis added, “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. While we cannot tell you anything more at the moment, we look forward to sharing information in the future.”
For those unfamiliar with the TimeSplitters series, the first-person shooter was created by the same minds who created GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64. A mix of sci-fi, horror and humour, TimeSplitters has humans battling against a race of alien beings known as the TimeSplitters, an alien race, who travel through time changing the course of history in order to bring about humanity’s destruction.
