TimeSplitters studio Free Radical is reforming to m⭕ake a new game in the franchise.
Publisher Deep Silver has announced today, May 20, that several members of the original dev⛎elo🍸pment team would be returning for a new TimeSplitters game.
Former Free Radical founder Steve Ellis said in a statement: "To finally be able to confirm that the studio has been formed and that we have a plan fo𓄧r the next TimeSplitters game is incredible. While we cannot tell you anytಌhing more at the moment, we look forward to sharing information in the future."
Original studio founder David Doak is returning alongside Ellis, who will be serving as t💜he s𝓀tudio development director at Free Radical for the new TimeSplitters game. According to the press release, development on the new TimeSplitters game isn't expected to begin for at least the next few months.
If you're unfamiliar with the historical shooter series, TimeSplitters first launched all the way back in 2000, the product of a few developers who had left studio Rare a few years prior. A launchღ game for the PS2, TimeSplitters followed in the footsteps of older shooters like Goldeneye with arcade firefights between a cast of colorful characters.
TimeSplitters sold well꧟ enough on the PS2 to garner ꧙a sequel, TimeSplitters 2, which was released just two years after the original in 2002. Rounding out the franchise was TimeSplitters: Future Perfect in 2005, after which developer Free Radical struggled to strike a deal with a publisher for a fourth game, and the rights reverted back to publisher Crytek.
Today's announcement is the result of Deep Silver parent company Koch Media purchasing the rights to the TimeSplitters franchise back in 2018. Alongside this purchase of the rights was when developer Steve Ellis signed up to help "澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:plot the future course of the franc🔯hise," and we're finally seeing tℱhe results of🌄 that plotting.
