Crytek Gives Okay To Fan-Made Resurrection Of TimeSplitters
Fans have been asking for more TimeSplitters ever since original developer Free Radical went under, and now they may get it (sort of) thanks to IP owners Crytek.
Website Cooking With Grenades has details of TimeSplitters Rewind – a game that draws from all three TimeSplitters games to create a new experience centering around multiplayer and the series' Challenge mode – all powered by CryEngine 3. The game is being done by a group of 25 fans who are committed to making the free PC game a reality, with a demo planned for release this December and the game itself hopefully soon thereafter.
Crytek purchased Free Radical in 2009 after the studio had to close its doors, and Crytek subsequently turned it into Crytek U.K.
Head over to Cooking With Grenades for the full interview with project manager Michael Hubicka.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
